The Sticks

In the tightly knit, working-class town of South Dorothy, Minnesota, the high school hockey program has long produced state championships and served as a direct conduit to the NHL under the legendary Coach Sully Sullivan. When a bus crash claims several players—and also takes Sully's life—the town turns to Harper Sullivan, Sully's widow, to lead a new cohort of battered and broken young men. What follows is an uplifting, unforgettable saga of an underdog team that rallies a community, reclaims its way of life, and forges grief into a powerful, unstoppable force.
