Saved is about becoming a hockey goaltender in your 50s, and how the position helped Dave Bidini navigate life and aging, meeting head-on the three elements that are inherent to the position: pain, failure, and loneliness. Blending sports memoir, self-help, and cultural history, Saved also touches on the author's encounters and friendships with Ken and Dave Dryden, Gord Downie, Sami Jo Small, and a galaxy of others, weaving their stories into a broader exploration of goaltending's unique place in sport and identity.
