The next chapter in Blades Of Glory highlights Jefferson's goalie Timm Lorenz. Timm moved from Denver, Colorado to Bloomington with his mother after his father passed away. He made the team as a junior and alternated with another goalie. But the other netminder has since than graduated and left the team in Timm's hands.
Timm is athletic and has a lot of natural talent at his position, but often succumbs to his nerves if scored upon. He'll become rattled and subject to playing much worse than he normally does when confident.
This is an ongoing theme throughout the chapter as Timm's inconsistent playing performance is brought into questioning light with Coach Tom Saterdalen. However with a very strong showing against Elk River, at the other teams arena nonetheless, Timm secures the starting goaltender position for the rest of the season.

Joe I've heard this is a sweet book, my brother read this and said it was really good. My Uncle Mark was a player for Tom Saterdalen in the early 80's and my grandpa is now friends with Tom. This is a book i hopefully get to read this school year. Good choice Joe.
