What a clever title! I wont travel into that, I just wanted to highlight how fitting it is to this hockey intimacy novel.
Even though the main character, Mickey, is a college freshmen, this publication is considered immature adult. He is not yet of adult age, and he deals with the same aspects young adults execute in those transitional years. Finding who he is and what he wants to be is a key aspect in a immature adults life.
Both Mickeys father AND grandfather have been key players in the National Hockey League, which puts the pressure on Mickey. He has been groomed to receive into the NHL his whole animation.

The only difficulty is that sometimes depression gets in the way, and that can produce him to concern about nothing at all.
