Description
It is the winter of 1956 in rural Prince Edward Island with snow protecting the fallow land, and ice confining the waterways. But, the season of rest is anything but restful for young Daniel MacDougall, who is juggling many roles, as he strives to fulfill his dream of providing a home and livelihood for his young family, while leading his hockey team to a much sought after championship. To further their own interests, there are those who are determined to make sure Daniel doesn't succeed.
Name Your Game is a compelling story about family, and community and the ties that bind them.
