Au grand jour (Le hockey pour toujours)

The story feels both funny and heartfelt, but I wonder how the author navigated blending these tones without undermining either. Did they plan this contrast from the start?

The protagonist's journey resonated deeply with me, especially the moments of vulnerability. I’m curious if the author drew from personal experiences or observations.

The details about team dynamics and the sport felt authentic. I wonder if the author has a background in hockey or if they did extensive research for this book.
