Book Description
Travis, Nish, and the rest of the Screech Owls are in the heart of cottage country to spend a week at summer hockey camp. Joining them for some off-season practice is Sarah Cuthbertson – the Owls’ former captain – with her new team, the Junior Aeros. It promises to be a wonderful seven days of sun, sand, and skating. Nish is even planning the World’s Biggest Skinny Dip!
But it’s not all fun and sun. The owner of the camp, Buddy O’Reilly, is a tyrant – a surly former NHLer, even meaner now than he was as a player. Soon coach Muck Munro, who never believed in summer hockey in the first place, has to warn the bully to stay away from the Screech Owls.
Next morning dawns bright and warm – but not warm enough to stir the cold body hidden in the boathouse! Now a killer is at large, and the Screech Owls are right in the middle of a real-life murder case.
Murder at Hockey Camp is the fourth book in the Screech Owls Series.

About the Author
Roy MacGregor has been involved in hockey all his life. Growing up in Huntsville, Ontario, he competed for several years against a kid named Bobby Orr, who was playing in nearby Parry Sound. He later returned to the game when he and his family settled in Ottawa, where he worked for the Ottawa Citizen and became the Southam National Sports Columnist. He still plays old-timers hockey and has been a minor-hockey coach for more than a decade.
Roy MacGregor is the author of several classics in the literature of hockey. Home Game (written with Ken Dryden) and The Home Team were both number one national bestsellers. He has also written the game’s best-known novel, The Last Season. His other books include Road Games, The Seven A.M. Practice, and A Life in the Bush, a memoir of his father. He has also written books about native leaders and the Ottawa Valley.
Roy MacGregor is now a senior columnist for the National Post. He and his wife, Ellen, live in Kanata, Ontario. They have four children, Kerry, Christine, Jocelyn, and Gordon.
