Teammates

Three teenage friends on a college rugby team in the shrinking community of English Montreal – three friends each facing wildly different fates. This is the story of Bill Putnam, whose downward trajectory we first begin to trace in the late 1970s, and his friends Rudy and Max. Teammates, their paths will cross in ways they never dreamt of in the happier days of their youth. Colin McGregor, former newspaper editor, teacher and long-term federal inmate, is a regular contributor to Reflet de Société, a Quebec youth magazine with over half a million readers in print and online. He has written this novel of atonement and hope to represent the journey taken by many from light to dark, from society to prison – and back out again. Part fantasy, always very real, this work will move and delight, will make you think and, perhaps, will lead you to dream.
