"I know with the magical thread woven amongst any good team, the Winnipeg Falcons are smiling down on this book recognizing their heroic feat."
Chris Oddleifson

"It’s a great story of courage and achievement and the good guys win in the end! A must read for anyone interested in Winnipeg’s Icelandic history."
The Honourable Gary Filmon

"David casts Frank Fredrickson as the main character is the novel, though all the other players are vividly portrayed as the team reassembles after the war and strives to win. . ."
David Jon Fuller
Logberg-Heimskringla
"Square’s fictionalized version of this true story is chock-full of dialogue and fast-paced on-ice action with side trips into early 1900’s Winnipeg society and World War I naval action. It’s a story of big dreams, big obstacles and big wins that incidentally portrays the coming-of-age of a generation."

"Square’s book emphasizes the racial discrimination that the Icelandic players had to overcome in order to play in a senior league."
Helen Norrie
Winnipeg Free Press
"When Falcons Fly is a story of determination and tenacity with just enough relationship drama to hold the interest of fans and rookies alike. Readers of all ages will be swept up into the energy of the team, while flying through each page, keeping pace with David Square’s skillful play by play."

"I read When Falcons Fly in one sitting. I just couldn't put it down and went through withdrawal when the last page was turned. If you enjoy a good sports story you will love this book. I highly recommend it!"
