The Catechism Of Hockey

Why does hockey have so many rules? Do we still need to have penalty boxes? Can't we get rid of off side? And why is practice so important? What's the big deal with the Commissioner? And coaches? And referees? Why can't they just let us play? Anyone involved in hockey--players, parents, fans--would never take any of these questions seriously. Without the rules, there would be no hockey. And without the drills there would be no thrills. And yet Catholics ask similar questions about the Church all the time. Why does the Church have so many rules? Why do we have to go to confession? Why do we need priests? And what's the big deal with the Pope? Why does the faith have to be so difficult? Can't we just play? If you have ever needed help explaining the faith to your children, your friends and family, or even your foes, this is your new playbook. The Catechism of Hockeyis one of the most unlikely, but effective Catholic resources for the New Evangelization.
