Simply put: The worst hockey book ever written
How this book got written is BEYOND ME.It was boring.It was written by a radio guy.It gets into the monotonous details of NOTHING.You wanna go on the road with a hockey team? Who cares what the author saw at the movies between the morning skate and game time! What we want to know is what go-go bars they were in and why! We want people. We want dirt.Yeah, that's what happens on the road in pro sports...but he didn't have the guts to break the old credo of "What happens on the road stays on the road." Think of this as a black-lined secret government document for sports.

Not what i expected
In the rough and tumble world of hockey what Berger produces is a fluff piece. I wanted to know what life was like on the road for an NHL team during a season but all i got from it was Berger's panoramic views from the window seat in the airplane. Who gives a crap what the city skyline was like? Instead of offering us a hard hitting account, he offers us with buddy buddy schmoozing with a couple hockey players and the coach. It was obvious that the players didn't want him around. Hardly ever did Berger give us accounts of him being with the players hangining out after the game or on days off. The closest thing to it was talking with Doug Gilmour on the street but he left in a hurry to go see his momma.(I thought he was supposed to detail the players and the team not his momma.) If i was going to request access to cover a team, i would lay down what i wanted to accomplish for the book and if i couldn't come to an agreement with the team, then i wouldn't produce a fluff piece just to let the world know i was around some hockey players. If Berger's goal was to remain buddies with the players and management, then what he should of done was chronicle another team not so close to his heart.

Waste (or waist) of time
My title says it all.There were so many spelling mistakes and/or typos (including the one above in the bio of Tie Domi) that I gave up half way through the book.If the author and/or the publisher couldn't bother toproduce a quality book I couldn't be bothered finishing it. ... Read more

Wayne Gretzky
I'm writing about the book I read in Social Studies. This book was farly good. This book talked about Wayne's life. It said that when he was a little kid he moved to Toronto to get away from all the paretens who's kids were mad that he was always scoring. At a young age Wayne played hockey with his grandmother. Wayne was also great as a young boy. Wayne was 18 years old when he started to play hockey in the NHL. Wayne has 40 Reular season records. Wayne played for 4 different teams. Wayne Gretzky is the greats or one of the greats. I think that if you like sports you should read this book. ... Read more

Everything you need to know about women's hockey
In the first Women's Hockey gold medal game in Olympic History the United States beat Canada; four years later Canada won the rematch.So it is not surprising that "Winning Women in Ice Hockey" looks at a pair of star athletes from each of these two countries: U.S. team captain Cammi Granato, Canadian goalie Manon Rheaume, U.S. goalie Erin Whitten, and Canadaian forward Hayley Wickenheiser.However, this volume also serves as an introduction to the sport of ice hockey, covering its history, development, rules, and the role that women are now playing in this once "boys-only" sport.Marlene Targ Brill's book is clearly intended for young girls who have watched these women compete in the Olympics in Salt Lake City.If they have any interest in playing on the ice, then this book will surely heighten their interest.Trill not only covers the accomplishment of this quartet of players on the ice, but goes into the odds they had to overcome to achieve success on various stages from college to the Olympics.Of course, up here in the Northland we are celebrating a second consecutive NCAA Frozen Four championship for the Lady Bulldogs, so we know a bit about hockey as played by women."Winning Women in Ice Hockey" takes both the sport and the women who play it seriously.For more about Cammi Granato I would recommend a superb sports biography by Thom Loverro, "Cammi Granato: Hockey Pioneer."

Winning Women in Ice Hockey
This was a great book with biographies of four great womens icehockey players and their road to success. It also gives a history ofthe game at the beggining of the book. My favorite part was the players advice at the end of their biography. ... Read more
