Beneath Silver Ridge Arena

A Winterfield Wolves Hockey Mystery

The Winterfield Wolves came to Silver Ridge to play hockey.

Fourteen years ago, a kid on the home team said the championship shouldn’t count. Everyone remembers that he caused trouble. Nobody remembers what he actually said.

Then the tournament trophy disappears.

With the Wolves chasing a championship of their own, Owen Mercer and his teammates start digging into what happened—and asking questions some people in Silver Ridge would rather leave alone.
