The Screech Owls find themselves in a difficult situation when they are abducted with their new friend Slava Shadrin, a star hockey player who is wanted by the Russian mob

Documentary of the life of a typical Canadian school day, 1993 to 1994.

Many Canadian parents are familiar with the painful tradition of the seven a.m. practice. It is enacted weekly across the country - hours before most sane people think of rising from their beds - as long-suffering mothers and fathers bundle sleepy children into the family car or minivan, then drive their budding athletes to the arena, the pool, the field, the gym... Roy MacGregor knows the joys and frustrations of cheering on a sporting child. He has, in particular, become known as an expert on the subject of fathers, sons, and the game of hockey, where parent and child often find a rare opportunity to meet on common ground and forge a relationship mediated by their love of the sport. But Roy MacGregor also has some first-hand experience on the subject of fathers, sons, and ear-piercing; fathers, daughters, and the pre-teen dance. In the funny, sometimes hair-raising stories collected in "The Seven A.M. Practice, in which he describes life at home with his own four children, Roy MacGregor brings his gently affectionate eye to the relationship of parent and child in every aspect of their lives. With bemused good humour, MacGregor charts the highs and lows of being a parent - from the cherished time when he is the centre of his child''s life to the sad day when it dawns on him that he is being gently nudged ever further to one side.

Presents a history of the Ottawa Senators hockey team, highlighting the games and players that have contributed to the team''s success.

"Roy MacGregor, a popular columnist for The Ottawa Citizen has been waging a one-man campaign to bring a little sanity to the number-one fad of the nineties: what he calls power parenting. There can’t be a Modern Parent out there who won’t feel the sting of recognition in reading this book, whether it’s over the cost of loot bags or the insanity of adults sweating over a Grade Three “project.”In a world where “experts” instruct parents on taking toddlers out to eat at exquisite restaurants, where neighbourhood library shelves are lined with such titles as Tim Learns about Mutual Funds, and where minor hockey has become too organized to be play, Roy MacGregor is the “expert” for real parents of real children. His own four real children and their real friends figure largely in his writing, having made him a participant, a victim, and ultimately a critic of contemporary family life. In an age when we are told that in parenthood as in all else, “you can have it all” and nothing short of perfection will do, Quantity Time is a beacon for the underachievers – for those whose children would rather daydream than become piano virtuosos, or prefer building tree forts to playing little league baseball." --

In October 1983 Ken Dryden gave us what was called the best non-fiction book ever written about hockey - The Game. In that same month Roy MacGregor published what was hailed as the best novel ever written about hockey - The Last Season. In 1989 these two writers teamed up to write another extraordinary book: inspired by Ken Dryden's major CBC-TV series on hockey, Home Game takes us all the way from street hockey to the showdowns between Canada and the Soviets. On publication, Home Game shot to the top of the bestseller lists, establishing itself as must reading for every hockey fan. Not only was this lavish book with over 95 full-colour photographs popular among ordinary Canadians: book reviewers loved it.

November 1990.
