Wendel and the Great One
by Mike Leonetti
illustrated by Greg Banning

David is surprised to learn that his teammates have chosen him captain of the Raiders. He accepts the responsibility with enthusiasm, but wonders what it takes to be a captain. He looks to his favourite players who are both captains — Wendel Clark of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Wayne Gretzky of the Los Angeles Kings — for inspiration. When these two hockey greats face each other during the Stanley Cup playoffs, David is able to learn the real meaning of leadership.
