What does Father Leboutlier’s praise cause Saul to do? Use evidence from the text – from chapter 20 or 22 – to support your response.

Saul he said quietly, "the game loves you." ch 20

I think that Father Leboutilier knows that Saul was meant to play hockey. There is a magic about Saul's game that transcends race, culture, and physicality. It was as if God gave the game to Saul. This is the only gift from a white man's God that Saul will respect.
