Given our Canadian roots, it seemed only right to have a winter sports and hockey themed puzzle within the StumpCraft portfolio! When Katerina contacted me last year, I thought Another Goal would be a perfect fit.
Katerina is a self-taught artist based out of Ottawa. Her clear passion for family and children shine through in her colourful and vibrant "naive" expressionist art. Her work has been featured regularly on cards, calendars and stamps for Unicef & the Canadian Lung Association and her originals can be found in many galleries across the country.
Puzzle piece design for Another Goal was focussed on outdoor winter activities, particularly hockey and skating. You will find several multi-piece whimsies including many hockey players and a zamboni. The multi-piece whimsy designs make the whimsies fairly stealthy and the puzzle quite challenging - only the keenest eye will find them all. He shoots, he scores!

Made in Canada.
They shoot, they score!
Finally able to get my hands on this puzzle and it didn’t disappoint. The art work is amazing and the pieces go amazingly with the theme. Also love how the maple leaf and ****** pieces are included in every puzzle.
High quality puzzle!
I decided to complete this jigsaw puzzle without looking at the reference picture to get an enhanced challenge. Even with the extra attention I gave to the shape of the pieces, it was still a surprise to see how many figures are hidden in the puzzle! Locking each piece in place was really satisfying. The puzzle pieces interlock nicely. The perfect way to relax, especially during a multi-day power outage!
Great winter fun
This is an amazing puzzle! We love doing it in January after the craziness of the holiday season. It's nice to sit an relax and focus on something so fun! I love this scene and the quality is amazing.
Another Goal
I did not do jigsaw puzzles until Another Goal was gifted to me. Before long the challenge and fun pieces had me totally addicted. Love it! I think I will only do Stumpcraft after this amazing fun experience .
