Description:
Victoria BC: Orca Book Pubishers, 2002. Signed. 1st. Pictorial Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by William Roy BrownridgeBrownridge's love for the game of hockey shines through once again, as it has in his previous two Moccasin goalie titles, The Moccasin Goalie ( CM II, No. 6) and The Final Game ( CM IV, No. 4). His stories often feature the underdog, the small, the downtrodden, who rise to the occasion despite their difficulties, and this title is no exception.Brownridge was born in 1932 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan.After graduating from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and Art in 1957, Brownridge worked as a graphic designer for 30 years while also pursuing his own artistic interests. In 1975, he was awarded a Canada Council grant to paint and draw the disappearing railroad architecture of the Prairies, and in 1981 he received a commission from the Calgary Winter Olympic Development Association to create a series of serigraphs depicting Olympic events.
