“. . . not only sweet and funny, but a wise parable about Quebec and English Canada.” —Toronto Star
“. . . Roch Carrier’s timeless book about a boy’s catalogue snafu resonated across this hockey-mad country–because who didn’t understand the horror of receiving the enemy’s hockey sweater in the mail?” —Faceoff.com
