On the Fly
A Hockey Fan's View from the Barn
Description
After fifteen long years the passion of Winnipeg’s hockey fans was reignited with the return of the Jets. On the Fly chronicles the return of professional hockey to the river city, capturing the thrill of every faceoff. From the last minute goals to the missed calls, Wayne Tefs reflects on what it is to be a fan and lose yourself in the ecstasy and agony of the game.

His novel Moon Lake received the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction in 2000 and his novel Be Wolf won the 2007 McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award. He lives in Winnipeg with his wife and son.

Tefs' memoir is a clear reminder that even if you're a loving parent, respected scholar, or tree hugging yogi, the passion you have for your hockey team brings out your primal instincts; before you know it you're painting your face, putting on a jersey and joining the masses cheering for your heroes, then crying out for blood! -Andi Petrillo, CBC Hockey Night in Canada
