Zack Chase, new in town, gets a crash course in the dangerous, fast-paced lives of local teen athletes. A good-looking, book-loving hockey star, Zack's also expected to be a womanizing, alcohol-abusing party animal, but it's not who he is. As jealous, obnoxious team captain Mac hounds him, Zack falls for Goth-girl Jane and befriends her teammate brother, both with their own secrets. Tragedy strikes and affects them all in this true-to-life debut novel, giving readers an insight into the lives of high school students and athletes.

"Sensitive Zack is a likable protagonist...teens will enjoy the drama and the romance."
—SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

"While there is plenty of hot action on the ice, WAITING TO SCORE is far less a sports action book than I had assumed it would be. This is foremost a realistic story of teens learning to fit in and survive, and author JE MacLeod does a stellar job of probing every one of Zack's interpersonal relationships..."   —Richie's Picks
