Tim Falconer is the author of Klondikers: Dawson City's Stanley Cup Challenge and How a Nation Fell in Love with Hockey. It tells the story of an unlikely team of dreamers and their audacious journey from the Yukon to Ottawa to play for the Stanley Cup in 1905. Their quest showed how quickly hockey—a niche, regional sport when Lord Stanley donated the trophy a dozen years earlier—had become the national pastime. Klondikers is for hockey fans and history buffs and anyone who enjoys a good yarn full of quirky characters. Tim first visited the Klondike when he had a summer job working in a Yukon mine. A former writer-in-residence at Berton House in Dawson City, he has also paddled three of the territory’s rivers. He lives and plays hockey in Toronto but returns to the Yukon as often as he can. His previous book, Bad Singer: The Surprising Science of Tone Deafness and How We Hear Music, made the Globe and Mail's Top 100 of 2016 list and was a finalist for the Lane Anderson Award. Tim is also the author of That Good Night: Ethicists, Euthanasia and End-of-Life Care, Drive: A Road Trip through Our Complicated Affair with the Automobile and Watchdogs and Gadflies: Activism from Marginal to Mainstream. And he helped popular parenting guru Dr. Alex Russell write Drop the Worry Ball: How to Parent in the Age of Entitlement.
