The Hockey Saint
by Howard Shapiro
Book Description:
The highly anticipated sequel to "The Stereoypical Freaks" and the 2nd book in
the "Forever Friends" Trilogy, this is "The Hockey Saint".
Twenty-one year
old Jeremiah Jacobson is the world's best hockey player, but he wasn't prepared
for the frenzy and scrutiny that came with that title. Tom Leonard is an average
college sophomore... just a guy trying to find his place in the world as he
sorts through issues that are both very real and seemingly insurmountable.
Through a chance meeting, these two strike up an unlikely friendship.
Their bond is tested when Tom discovers that his idol isn't as perfect up close
as he seems from afar. With Jeremiah living a little too much in the moment and
with his past catching up to him, will Tom be able to help him before it's too
late?

The Hockey Saint Dream Cast
Brad
Pitt is Jeremiah Jacobson. This one is
easy because visually we were aiming to have Jeremiah look like Brad Pitt when
he was in his mid-20’s.
Al
Pacino as team owner Daniel Jones. I
think he could steal the movie! It’s a
small role but if he went nuts like did in “The Devils Advocate” it would be
great!
Samuel
L Jackson as private eye Dexter Fowler.
Again, like Brad Pitt as Jeremiah, visually, I wanted Dexter to look
like Samuel L Jackson and I wrote the character as if he was played by Samuel L
Jackson.
I wanted Felicity to look sort of like
Bridget Fonda did in the early 90’s.
Tom has been a character in each of my six
books, starting out as a child and working his way up to his early 20’s. I kind of picture Freddie Highmore playing
him.
HOWARD SHAPIRO lives in Pittsburgh, PA with his
wife and two sons. The Controller for the Pittsburgh-based Visual Effects firm,
Animal Inc., he has also written four children’s books and The Stereotypical
Freaks will be his debut Graphic Novel. His 2008 book, Hockey Player for Life,
has been the #1 downloaded children’s hockey e-book on Amazon’s Kindle chart
since its arrival as an e-book in November of 2011. His, Hockey Days book was
the only book featured in the December 2007 Sporting News Annual Gift Guide as a
Best Buy Gift for Children. Through a corporate sponsorship program he set up
(and maintains), since the 2010-11 season, both of his children’s hockey books
have been given to NHL teams (over 2,500 copies to date) for use in their
community and educational initiatives. Since 2006 his annual charity raffle,
which he matches dollar for dollar donated, has raised funds for several
hockey-related charities including the Mario Lemieux Foundation, Hockey Fights
Cancer and the Keith and Lisa Primeau Scholarship Fund.
