Descrição do livro
Everyone needs a glue guy. Nobody asks what it costs him to hold everyone together. In hockey, the biggest play is often the one nobody notices: the secondary assist. Liam Donnelly has built his entire life around being that invisible play. On the ice for St. Christopher’s varsity hockey team, he’s the defensive grinder who takes the hits, wins the draws, and does the dirty work so his reckless, naturally gifted younger brother, Sean, can chase highlight-reel goals. Off the ice, Liam is the Fixer: tutoring teammates, smoothing over crises, cleaning up Sean’s messes, and quietly holding everyone together.
Then Matt Erickson, a professional hockey star with a massive contract and a fading love for the game, notices what everyone else misses: Liam’s rare hockey IQ. During a chance meeting after practice, Matt sees a kid who understands the geometry, timing, and hidden structure of hockey at a level far beyond high school. A secret exchange of game tape turns into a friendship that changes them both.
Matt pushes Liam to stop acting like the team janitor and start leading like the alternate captain he is. Liam, in turn, reminds Matt why hockey mattered before contracts, media noise, and burnout.
Fast, funny, and full of rink-level detail, Jeff Everson’s The Glue Guy is a coming-of-age story about brotherhood, leadership, pressure, and the grinders who hold a team together long after the crowd stops cheering.
