It's 1977, and 10-year-old Tina couldn't be happier about her life. Not because she just moved to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, but because she's finally old enough to make her dream come true: she can play on a real hockey team. But when she tries to join the league, she learns that girls aren't allowed to play on the boys' team—and there's no team for girls. Despite jeers from classmates and cruelty from some of the town's adults, Tina is determined to play. She wants it more than anything. With the help of her family, Tina takes her fight to the Human Rights Commission. She's allowed to play on a team while her case goes through court, but though she's the best skater on the ice, even some of her teammates think she shouldn't be there. From facing down angry coaches to testifying on the stand, Tina does everything for one big goal: to play real hockey. Based on an inspiring true story, No Girls Allowed is a journey of passion, determination, and sheer love of the game.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Hayley Wickenheiser is an incredible human being . . . this is what a billion hours of hard work looks like.” —Ryan Reynolds The greatest women’s hockey player of all time, Hayley Wickenheiser shares the lessons that won her four Olympic gold medals, and hard-earned wisdom distilled from moments when she fell short. There is no one in the world like Hayley Wickenheiser. 13 World Championship appearances. 6 Olympic Games. Hockey Hall of Famer. All while raising a child, earning multiple university degrees, and not benefiting from the financial stability male professional athletes have. She gave the game everything she had—now, Hayley shares what the game gave her. From motherhood to pro leagues to her new career in medicine, Hayley shares the hard-won lessons she learned on and off the ice that helped her not only have a record-breaking hockey career but craft a life filled with joy, growth, and challenges. In her own words, Hayley shares how she rose from the backyard pond and changing in boiler rooms (because girls' dressing rooms didn’t exist) to Olympic MVP (twice). How becoming a parent made her a better athlete. How she learned to thrive under monumental pressure. But she doesn’t stop at revealing the pillars to her tremendous success—Hayley delves into her immense failures and how she grew from them. Like Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, and Abby Wambach before her, Hayley shares her wisdom through personal stories of triumph, relentlessness, and more than a couple confrontations. Told with humour, compassion, and steadfast optimism, Hayley’s practical advice, coaching, and invaluable perspective inspires readers to never accept “that’s not the way we do things” or “that hasn’t been done before” as limitations. An empowering and pragmatic guide, Hayley encourages readers to not follow in her footsteps, but to carve their own ice.

See below for English description. Un jeune hockeyeur noir doit faire face aux préjugés de ses coéquipiers et de leurs parents, qui le considèrent comme une menace parce qu'il est le plus grand de l'équipe. En raison de la couleur de sa peau, ils le trouvent dangereux et supposent que c'est une brute. Le garçon comprend que le fait d'être grand peut être dangereux pour un enfant noir, car cela peut engendrer la haine et la violence. Heureusement, le joueur de hockey arrive à trouver de l'inspiration auprès de sa famille et des légendes du hockey noires pour montrer à son équipe qu'il n'est pas seulement grand, mais aussi grandiose! Cette histoire sur les préjugés raciaux montre aux enfants qu'ils ne devraient jamais avoir honte de prendre leur place, et à quel point les idées préconçues peuvent être dommageables. Original title : I Am Big A young Black hockey player must face the prejudice of his teammates and their parents who see him as a threat for being the biggest kid on the team. Based on his race, they find him dangerous and assume he's a bully, but he ruminates on how being big can be dangerous for a Black kid as it draws the wrong kind of attention, namely hatred and violence. The unnamed hockey player will draw inspiration from his family and Black hockey legends to show his team that he is more than his size. This story shows kids that they should never be ashamed for taking up space, and just how damaging unchallenged prejudices can be.

"You're going to spend some time on the power play, on penalty kill, and start right off as the second line centre," he told me. I didn't question why he was putting me on the second line. I'd show him the first line was the place I belonged. "The important thing is that you've been drafted," he said. "You're going to play Junior A, and you're going to be on my team. You're my player." No one is tougher than Cody: not his hockey teammates, not his rivals on the ice, not even his old man after he's been drinking. Cody only wants one thing-to make it to the NHL-and he won't let anything get in his way. When a Junior A league scout helps Cody make the draft and becomes his coach, Cody can hardly believe it. Finally, someone who sees his potential! But he soon learns that his new champion will take as much as he gives. And, before long, Cody's lucky break has transformed into a nightmare of secrets, lies and a terrible abuse of power.
