Main Characters: There are many characters in the story. One of then is
Travis Lindsay, Ted Lindsay's son, he is the captain of the Screech Owls
team. Travis caught the people trying to steal the Stanley Cup. Travis
chewed his nails just like the Leafs superstar Mats Sundin.
Another character is Lars Johanssen, a Swedish boy also like Mats
Sundin. Lars can speak Swedish very fast to Mats, all the others can't
keep up or understand.
Another character is Nish, he also helped Travis catch the guys who
planned to steal the Cup. Nish likes to smoke. He likes to check out
strip clubs like the Zanzibar.
Another character is the coach Muck. He's a guy who likes to spoil the
team like almost buying the whole team hockey tickets. Muck is a good
coach, he led his team to the finals.
Setting: There were a few settings in the book. One setting was the
Hockey Hall of Fame that was the place where the Stanley Cup was planned
to be stolen and where Fahd, Data and Wilson were caught for
shoplifting. Another was the arena where the Screech Owls team played
all their games. The other was the CN Tower where their team had a race
that tired the whole team out. The whole story took place in Toronto.
Plot: The story is about a team coming to Toronto for the biggest and
hardest tournament of their lives. Their team also makes mistakes on the
way like Nish spraining his ankle from falling down the stairs at the CN
Tower. Later Fahd, Data and Wilson have to go home because they were
caught shoplifting. So they're going to have to play the championship
without three of their key players.
One night, before the championship game of the tournament, two robbers
were planning to steal the Stanley Cup from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
When they tried to steal it, Travis, Nish and Lars saw the robbers
stealing the Cup. They ran to the owners and told the owners what
happened. The robbers got in big trouble. The night of the championship
game the Screech Owls lost to Toronto Towers and everyone was crying.
Personal Reaction: I liked the book because it was good and it was about
things that I am interested in like hockey, the CN Tower, Mats Sundin
and Doug Gilmour. I liked Lars the best because he spoke Swedish so fast
that no one could keep up. The part I didn't like is I wanted the
Screech Owls to win the championship instead of the Towers. Another part
I felt sad about, was good guys on the team got caught shoplifting. That
part made me feel sad. I like the author, Roy MacGregor, and I have a
whole series of his books. My dad can get his autograph anytime he likes.
