Summary of John Branch's Boy on Ice

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The ice was covered with five-year-old boys. The goalies were immobilized with padded equipment, weighted like firs under heavy snowfall. The others, like Derek, glided in slow-motion packs, cautiously and unsteadily following the puck.

#2 In 1981, Joanne, a tall woman with sad eyes, was married to Len Boogaard, a sturdy and stern policeman. They had met at a Regina bar on New Year’s Day, 1981. Len was a cadet at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Depot Division, the training academy for the national police force.

#3 Len Boogaard was a police officer in Canada, and he was posted to Vancouver. He met and fell in love with Joanne, a bar worker at Checkers, and they had a shotgun romance. He would be out of training by summer and was posted anywhere across the country.

#4 Len and Joanne were married in a small, dark chapel at the RCMP Depot in June 1977. The couple had Derek in June 1982, and he was 9 pounds 5½ ounces. He was the heaviest of the oncoming wave of Boogaard babies.
