Ryan Minkoff was blessed with athleticism, perseverance, and an unquenchable passion for playing hockey. So were ten thousand other young players in Minnesota. Throw in nearly three-quarters of a million other young players across the country and millions in Canada--all hoping for one of the limited spots on a Division I team—and you have some serious competition. In the tradition of against-the-odds sports titles such as The Blind Side and Hoosiers, Ryan Minkoff's story is for anyone who roots for an underdog whose dreams will not fade in the face of overwhelming odds

Industry Reviews

"From the State of Hockey to the ACHA and Finnish minor leagues, a candid and compelling look into a very unknown side of the hockey world."

--John Buccigross, anchor, ESPN's SportsCenter

"Ryan's story and the lessons that can be gleaned from it are relevant to anybody who has ever dreamed of being a professional athlete. Athleticism and talent will take you so far, but ultimately the most indispensable tool one can possess is passion. Ryan's passion comes through strong here and will surely resonate with hockey fans and non-hockey fans alike."

--Dan Treadway, editor, The Players' Tribune

"Ryan's frank and fascinating story brought back many memories of playing alongside him and reminded me why hockey is so special."

--Jonny Brodzinski, forward, San Jose Sharks

"[Thin Ice is] more than a hockey book. Minkoff combines his passion and a never-say-die mentality with wit and humor for a great read."

--Dan Cloutier, retired ten-year NHL goaltender
