Will young Niall be good enough for the big league—the National Hockey League?

So, You Be Keon and I'll Be Mahovlich is a heartwarming story about a little boy's dream to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The story cleverly weaves historical fact with fiction as it tells a magical and action-packed tale of the boy's hopes and of the hockey player, Maple Leafs legend Bill Barilko, who helps him overcome his fears and pursue his passion. 

For ages 8 to 11 (and older)
