"I hate hockey " is the first and last sentence in this novel that
offers a great take on our love-hate relationship with hockey.
Narrator Antoine Vachon blames the game for killing his marriage
with his beautiful ex-wife (well, that and the power outage that
brought her home unexpectedly to find him in bed with her intern).
But hockey is a pretext for unlikely adventure in this sardonic
roman noir that at times flirts with the outrageous.Antoine Vachon
is a total loser living in a pitiful bachelor apartment after he
has lost his wife and his job as a car salesman. When his son's
hockey coach is found dead, he is browbeaten into coaching the team
for one game. He makes it through the game (to great comic effect),
but things take a turn for the worse when they stop at a motel
after the game. Who killed the former coach and why? Was Antoine's
son involved? Or his ex-wife? The late coach was liked by all and
was a pillar in the community. He was close to his player, perhaps
too close... Why is Antoine unable to communicate with his son?
