Author/narrator Kendall Coyne shares her story of determination and perseverance as she pursued her passion for hockey in spite of the hardships in her life. At a young age, Coyne was drawn to hockey, and she and her family worked hard to make her Olympic dream become a reality despite financial obstacles. She suffered multiple injuries during her time on the ice but remained dedicated to the sport. She also pushed for more opportunities for girls and women in hockey before and after winning gold for Team USA in 2018. While Coyne’s pacing is uneven at times, general listeners and hockey enthusiasts alike will appreciate that she is telling her own story. M.D. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
