The Crazy Canucks: Canada's Legendary Ski Team chronicles the grit, perseverance and kamikaze style of a band of young skiers – Dave Murray, Dave Irwin, Ken Read and Steve Podborski - who believed they had the right stuff to win and keep winning.

In the early 1970s, no non-European had ever won a men's World Cup downhill and nobody expected this to change. At first the spirited Canadian racers were regarded as a bit of a joke as they travelled in a rusty old Volkswagen van and showed little regard for the niceties of European alpine traditions. But in 1975, Canadian Ken Read made history and turned the skiing world upside down when he posted the fastest time at Val d'Isère, France – one of the World Cup meccas. From then on, the Canadian boys climbed atop World Cup podiums with increasing regularity. No one in Europe had ever seen anything like it: a handful of young Canadian men fearlessly hurling themselves down the iciest, steepest courses of the ski racing circuit and clocking some of the fastest times.

The Farm Team is the picture book that young readers and hockey fans have been waiting for! For fifty years, the animals on Stolski's farm have played their hearts out for their greatest dream – winning the Stolski Cup. But every year, the Farm Team loses to the nastiest, smelliest, scariest bunch of varmints ever to wear skates – the Bush League Bandits. As soon as the puck drops for this year's playoff game, the Bandits play dirtier than ever and take an early lead.

But despite the Bandits' conniving, take-no-prisoners approach, the Farm Team doesn't flinch and with fair play, integrity and a whole lot of heart they score a goal much bigger than they ever thought possible.
