The more I read of @lt;b@gt;Ice Time@lt;/b@gt;, the more I was hooked. Far more than just a chronicle of a high school hockey season, Jay Atkinson's book is an evocative, bittersweet, poetic journey of a grown man trying, as we all try, not to recapture youth but to remember the splendor of it. @lt;br@gt;-- H. G. Bissinger, author of @lt;b@gt;Friday Night Lights@lt;/b@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt; Jay Atkinson, in only his second book, has taken himself over the top. For those who have played a sport, and -- curiously -- for those who never have, this ice-smooth prose will resonate in memory for a long time. About the prose: For the most part, it is quiet, but there is a subtext that renders father-son love and the hard price of victory, as well as the equally hard price of defeat. Somewhere in this book, you will find your heart joyously broken. @lt;br@gt;-- Harry Crews, author of @lt;b@gt;A Childhood: The Biography of a Place@lt;/b@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;i@gt;From the Hardco
