Description

The Ice Chips have time travel down to a science . . . almost. After Ekamjeet “Edge” Singh misses out on their most recent adventure, he convinces his teammates to take another leap through time. But when the team’s magic goes haywire, a hero from the past finds her way onto the Chips’ hometown rink—and leaves behind a very important trophy.

It’s up to the Ice Chips to return the famous award to its rightful home before all of hockey history changes forever. It won’t be easy, but if they can get the cup back where it belongs, they might just have the chance to win it for themselves!

The fourth title in the beloved and bestselling Ice Chips series, by acclaimed authors Roy MacGregor and Kerry MacGregor and illustrator Kim Smith, features a vibrant and diverse cast of characters and inspiring hockey greats.

About the authors

In the fall of 2006, Roy MacGregor, veteran newspaperman, magazine writer, and author of books, came to campus. Since 2002, MacGregor had been writing columns for the Globe and Mail, but he had a long and distinguished career in hand before he came to the national newspaper. He has won National Newspaper Awards and in 2005 was named an officer in the Order of Canada. He is the author of more than 40 books — 28 of them in the internationally successful Screech Owls mystery series for young readers — on subjects ranging from Canada, to the James Bay Cree, to hockey. That fall, he spoke to a packed room in the St. Thomas chapel. After the lecture, Herménégilde Chiasson, the Acadian poet, artist, and New Brunswick's Lieutenant Governor of the day, hosted a reception at the majestic Old Government House on the banks of the St. John River. MacGregor spent the evening surrounded by young journalists and the conversation continued late into the night. After all, there were more than three decades of stories to tell.

Editorial Reviews

"Roy and Kerry MacGregor continue to write interesting and accessible hockey stories for young readers. The Ice Chips and the Stolen Cup examines many issues, including women’s hockey, time travel, friendship, courage, determination, co-operation, and sportsmanship. The black and white illustrations by Kim Smith are very well-done and add a great deal to the narrative. The diversity and determination represented by the intrepid Ice Chips will definitely engage young readers! Highly recommended." — CM Magazine

“Moments of insight and empathy don’t jar or weigh down the story, but are deftly woven into the hometown hockey narrative. . . . It’s not surprising how well-crafted the book is given the pedigree of its authors.” — Quill & Quire on The Ice Chips and the Magical Rink

"Middle-grade readers who like hockey, adventure and maybe a little time travel will enjoy this latest installment in the “Ice Chips” chapter-book series." — Simcoe.com
