Coming Soon Shift by Shift

Scott Abbott spent six years as a linesman in the Western Hockey League, standing close enough to watch future NHL players up close, absorbing the disagreement of fans, and learning to make the right call when everything was moving too fast to think. At twenty-five, he was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Two bone marrow transplants, a treatment he initially refused, and a fifty-fifty chance of survival followed.

Shift by Shift is what he learned living both of those lives at once. Using hockey's structure — shifts, penalties, bad bounces, empty nets, sudden death — as a lens, this book is a practical, hard-earned guide to resilience, identity, and getting back up, built on the same principle that carried Scott through a hospital room: you don't have to solve your whole life today. You only have to play the shift you're in.
