Beartown is a small dying town in the forests of Sweden. The people of the town are hoping the junior hockey team will win the semi-finals and go on to the finals. Then perhaps, a hockey academy will be built in Beartown, and then shopping centers and a convention center would follow. When the unimaginable happens off the ice, the whole town is affected including its future.
There are a lot of characters in this story from the players, coaches and their families, parents, President and the General Manager of the Beartown Hockey Club, sponsors... All play a role in the story. Some characters you will love, others you will not. I strongly recommend this book to those who are hockey fans and those who like stories about small towns.
