PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Mass Market Paperbound)

Description
The Screech Owls have come to Salt Lake City for the Peewee Winter Games - with the championship game to be played on the same ice surface where the Canadian men and women won Olympic hockey gold

Nish has plans to run his own competition: the Gross-Out Olympics, featuring everything from taping players to dressing room walls with duct tape to the "Snot Shot" - seeing how far they can fire a jellybean using only their noses. He also has a team contest to see who can figure out the Great Nish Secret and guess what the nuttiest Screech Owl of all has buried at centre ice for good luck.

But that secret pales once the Owls find out something strange - something terrifying - is going on in the tunnels deep beneath the magnificent hills surrounding the Olympic site.
