Summary "Down the Ice and Other Winter Sports Stories" by Harold M. Sherman is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 20th century. The central theme revolves around the exhilarating and sometimes challenging world of winter sports, particularly focusing on ice hockey and skiing. Through various characters and situations, the stories capture the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and personal growth in the face of adversity. The opening of "Down the Ice" introduces readers to Carl Hemmer, the star hockey player of Taber High, as he engages in an intense game against Howard Prep. With thrilling play-by-play descriptions, readers witness Carl's remarkable skills and the challenges he faces when he unexpectedly gets injured during a fierce collision. As he recovers, there is concern about his ability to perform in an upcoming significant game against Siddall High, which promises a rivalry between two standout players, Carl and Whiz Deagen. The story sets the stage for themes of resilience and determination, highlighting the trials that athletes endure, not just physically but mentally, as they strive for greatness.
