Clancy with the Puck is a delightful Canadian twist on the classic American baseball story "Casey at the Bat," with a bit of Roch Carrier's The Hockey Sweater added for good measure. The hapless but heroic Clancy has a chance to win the hearts of hometown fans and take home the Stanley Cup. But our hero blows it in the final period: instead of scoring the game-winning goal, Clancy misses and ends up driving the Zamboni!

This engaging children's hockey story is a creative re-telling of the classic baseball poem "Casey at the Bat." Clancy with the Puck is a hilarious and nostalgic tale of hockey hubris. The hardcover book includes a DVD with an animated short narrated by the legendary Bob Cole, whose Hockey Night in Canada play-by-play is heard by millions of hockey fans weekly. Clancy is enhanced by the fabulous full-colour artwork of animator Chris Mizzoni. Mizzoni has styled his work to reflect the original drawings on the O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, and the book's classic retro look will appeal to hockey fans of all ages.

The animated short will be broadcast nationwide by Studio B Productions.
