Cozy Fest: Bill Waiser + Gordie’s Skate
Lifelong historian Bill Waiser joins Cozy Fest to share his latest book for little hockey lovers, Gordie’s Skate (Thistledown Press); a story about NHL legend Gordie Howe and how a moment’s kindness from his mother accidentally led him to getting his first skate – yes, that’s singular on purpose!
