The pursuit of a dream can shape your life—even when it unfolds differently than you imagined.

What happens when the game you built your life around ends?

David Emma spent his early life chasing a dream few athletes ever reach. He became a college hockey star, won the Hobey Baker Award, represented the United States at the Olympics, and played professional hockey. Then, almost at once, two things disappeared: his career and the money he believed he had protected.

The Third Period is the story of what happened next.

Part memoir, part hard-earned guide to money, family, identity, and purpose, Emma looks back at the lessons he learned too late—and the ones that ultimately mattered most.

Using the three periods of a hockey game as a map for a working life, he explores the choices that shape us before success, during our earning years, and after the title, paycheck, or applause begins to fade.

The Third Period is not only a book for athletes. It is for anyone who has ever tied their identity to achievement, trusted without asking enough questions, or wondered what comes after the role that once defined them.

Because every game ends. The real question is who you become when it does. And what you choose to carry forward into the life still ahead.
