Matt Brown was flying across the ice, just as his coach wanted. He gained speed as he chased the puck toward his defensive zone. The entire bench had their eyes trained on him, knowing something big was about to happen. And something big did happen--this play was life-changing, in the most unexpected, catastrophic way possible.
Just as the puck settled between Matt's skates, he was bumped from behind by an opposing player and crashed headfirst into the unforgiving boards. As he struggled to move his arms and legs, an ominously painful silence fell over the arena. In a a split second, star hockey player Matt Brown was suddenly paralyzed from the neck down.
An inspiring true story of die-hard resilience in the face of adversity, Line Change is Matt's unbelievable, first-hand account of what it means to square off with life's setbacks. Despite facing tremendous personal and physical challenges, Matt never let his confidence waver, his drive falter, or his goals diminish. And though he may still be paralyzed, he works on his strength every day--and will continue to do so until he gains full mobility once more.
In this candid, inspiring memoir that is interlaced with influential voices from those closest to him during his recovery and beyond, Matt lays his journey bare. From the struggles to the triumphs and everything in between, Matt reflects on how his "Never Quit" attitude allowed him to graduate from college, become a well-respected motivational speaker honored by the Boston Bruins, and be an inspiration to those of all ages. Line Change isn't a story of tragedy, but a story of hope, courage, and what it means to live a full and rewarding life.

"Wow. This book is one that makes it difficult to put down. It’s an extremely well written account of the trauma and courage of an amazing young man. Such an inspiration and a “real†insight into the emotions and trials of becoming paralyzed especially at such a young age. I haven’t read a book in almost 8 years but I can tell you I finished this in 3 days. Must read!"

- This book should be required reading at every school in the country. Matt's story is one that every young adult will gain great strength and learning is endless. I see summer reading with books that have no meaning and students read them to check off they read them. This book generates conversation. You are engaged and feel a part of Matt's journey from the beginning. Looking forward to his next chapter....or should I say chapterS.

- Hockey is family. This book is an honest look at Matt’s injury and recovery from all the people closest to him. Matt is an inspiration and he truly is remarkable is how he chose to focus on the positive after his injury. I have this book for my own son’s to read as they are hockey players and I struggle to find things they will read without a fight. Through it all Matt encourages kids to continue to play the sport and focus on the positive. I admire Matt and his family and encourage everyone to read this book. There are so many messages to take from reading this book.
- As a retired trauma nurse and mother of four children that played hockey for years, Line Change is a book that should be required high school reading! I loved the intimate portrait of life among family and friends that Matt shared with the reader. I also loved the chapters from those that know Matt closely that gave another look at life with Matt.
Inspirational, personable, “Never Quit†attitude! - Received my copy of the book on Dec 12th and started reading right away! Two weeks and was finished, which is fast for me when it comes to reading..
I could not put it down! Whether you have the pleasure of knowing the Brown Family or not (which i have the pleasure of) this book will tear at your heart strings! They are an incredible family, and Matt is a true inspiration!!
PURCHASE THE BOOK! You will not be disappointed!!
