SEAHAWK is a personal memoir of a youngster’s late 1950s participation on a championship New England town hockey team composed of WWII veterans, and traces that boy’s life and connection to hockey across almost sixty years. It is a ground-breaking study of aging while playing contact sports and reflects upon the famed WWII generation, pond hockey, black ice, and the hockey towns and teams of New England.
Few books are written about hockey; fewer expound fully on its special qualities as a sport. SEAHAWK is such a book.
"The
book is called Seahawk: Confessions Of An Old Hockey
Goalie.
Remember that name because it is an early 2009 release, but it will get a
lot of attention in hockey circles, not to mention serious consideration for
the 2009 HockeyBookReviews.com Hockey Book Of The Year Award. . .
In reading his passionate words, we the reader rediscover our own childhood
lust for hockey. It is a great experience. Depending on how old the reader
is, we can all relate as Valley moves on from his youth through his life. We
all take different journeys, but hockey is always with us." Read more on Hockey Book Reviews . . .

“A fine literary descendant of Jack Falla’s Home Ice and Peter Gzowski’s The Game of Our Lives. Like any good hockey book, it teaches us more about the world than hockey itself.”

“A compellingly intimate sports book that will hopefully become a movie, SEAHAWK has the breadth, depth, and power to be read for generations.”
