Stolen Seasons: How Maine Sports Survived the COVID-19 Pandemic
Stolen Seasons represents an attempt to explain how the loss of opportunities in sport – which can never be returned – spurred people on all sides of the issue to find avenues of recovery. Faced with an unforeseen and unfamiliar foe, the resilience, creativity, and sense of resolve of Mainers involved in sport was on full display for more than two years. Stolen Seasons is the story of their, at times heroic, always selfless journey towards the future.
Nobody involved in Maine sports at any level could have possibly imagined the range of setbacks that would face them due to the coronavirus pandemic. This book represents the authors' best attempt to tell the stories of Maine people involved in sports at every level who were faced with similar challenges and met them head-on.
