Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Nicolas est malade et il manque le camp d'entraînement d'hockey. Comme il est persuadé qu'il ne pourra jamais réussir les qualifications, il décide de trouver un autre sport. Il essaie la course à pied, le yoga, l'haltérophilie, la gymnastique et la natation, mais il n'est pas très bon dans ces différents sports. Il sait maintenant avec certitude que ce qu'il préfère, c'est le hockey. Il se rend donc aux qualifications, et réalise que ses expériences sportives précédentes lui ont beaucoup apporté.

Un beau livre pour explorer l'idée selon laquelle toutes les expériences sont bonnes, même celles qui au départ, semblent ratées.

When Nicolas has to miss training camp because of a very badly timed flu, his despair is followed by the determination to find a new sport. While his hockey mates are learning new skills, Nicolas rounds up his other friends to show him the sports they love. He tries tennis, gymnastics, yoga, running, swimming and weight lifting. His friends teach him lots of great skills, but with each new sport he realizes he really does love hockey best.

On the day of hockey tryouts, Nicolas' new skills help elevate his level of play. Not only does he make the team, he gets the position of starting goalie! In the end, he learns that trying something new and getting help from friends can go a long way.

Original title: Never Enough Hockey
