This book is about a young Canadian boy named Saul Indian Horse. Saul is a member of the Ojibway tribe and is sent to a residential school, where he is forced to convert to Christianity and give up his Native ways. At the school, Saul is introduced to the game of hockey and quickly becomes a star player. However, the racism of the time means that Saul is not allowed to play on the same teams as white players.
Saul eventually runs away from the school and returns to his tribe. He eventually becomes a professional hockey player, but the racism he faces means that he is not able to achieve the same level of success as white players. Despite this, Saul is able to use his skills to help his team win the Stanley Cup.
