Saul is so good at hockey that even white teams want him but, at the same time, they will never accept him. Hockey becomes a "double edge sword" in that it allows him entrance to excell in the white world but also causes him great pain in the form of discrimination. It is a cruel paradox: the white world loves Saul's hockey but they hate him because he excells at "their" game.

"Do they hate me?"
"They don't hate you, Saul." 'Well, what, then?"
"They think it's their game." ch 23
