"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

Synopsis
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, 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 ......, Ryan Minkoff was blessed with athleticism, perseverance, and an unquenchable passion for playing hockey. His journey to the pros against lofty odds was, as he says, "unconventional." Minkoff's love for the game began in Minnesota, the State of Hockey, where his youth and high-school experiences were anything but ordinary. His suitcase always packed, he played for seven different hockey programs in a fourteen-year span. While Minkoff's confidence wavered and was often challenged, his determination and passion stayed strong, and he found his way to the University of Washington to play in the unfamiliar world of club hockey. Despite discouraging circumstances, such as games in empty arenas starting well after midnight to hitchhiking home after a long road trip, Minkoff not only set records, captained the squad, and ran the club as the president, he also formed strong bonds with his coaches and teammates. Following an illustrious club career, Minkoff landed in the professional ranks of Finland, where--in the midst of nearly crashing a Zamboni, acting as the town's Santa Claus, and sleeping at the rink--he truly discovered his gift of a lifetime in the game of hockey. Thin Ice is an honest, witty, inspirational coming-of-age story. Ryan Minkoff's debut memoir is for anyone who roots for an underdog whose dreams will not fade no matter the obstacles., Ryan Minkoff was blessed with athleticism, perseverance, and an unquenchable passion for playing hockey. So were ten thousand other young players in Minnesota.

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.
