"wonderfully basic collage of Paul Kariya facts and photos"
Expecting a large 8 by 10 inch book of over 100 pages of fantastic verbosity, I received a small, 60 page book with language suitable for a 6 year old. But I thought it was just great! Perfect for new Kariya fans and younger hockey fans. Not recommended for hard-core hockey fanatics, but a definite read for little hockey tykes. ... Read more

Fine Autobiography of an Original 6 Superstar
Mr. Beliveau provides a strong insight into a game that has ceased to exist anymore.Todays NHL (27 teams and more on the way) bears no resemblance to Mr. Beliveau's era when there were six teams andapproximately 150 players, travel was by train and a 'players union' wasthe owners idea of having all team members in one place at the same time. The book is divided, roughly, into three equal parts;Mr. Beliveau'sjunior years in Quebec with the Citadels and Aces; his years with theCanadiens organisation, and; his insights into how the game has changed toits present form.As a participant, Mr. Beliveau reminisces fondly overhis career and the many individuals (on both sides of centre ice) with whomhe has played, including an excellent analysis on Bobby Orr's impact on thegame.As an observer, Mr. Beliveau presents spirited and informed opinionson the many changes the game has endured since expansion 30 years ago,including thoughts on the WHA influence on the NHL.Read more

The Best that Never Played
"Fly in a Pail of Milk" is the autobiography of Herb Carnegie,the 3-time, Senior League MVP and career minor leaguer, who should havebroken the NHL color barrier 20 years before Boston Bruin Willie O'Ree.Despite being referred to as "the best that never played," theOntario native never realized his dream of playing in the NHL for hisbeloved Toronto Maple Leafs, most said, because of the color of his skin. Though the pacing, at times, is a bit slow, the book is a worthwhile read,primarily because Carnegie is rarely mentioned in hockey history books, andfew of even the most versed hockey fans could tell you who he is. ...

A must have book for all school libraries.
I'm writing this on behalf of my 6 year old son who is a New Jersey Devils fan and admirer of Scott Gomez.The book is informative and well written.We find out how old Scott was when he took up hockey(age 5)and how Scott worked his way up the league and eventually into the NHL.Scott Gomez is a genuine roll model for young people and especially young Hispanics who don't think other Hispanics played hockey(we are stereotypicaly boxers who don't know how to do anything else).I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the sport or is a new fan of hockey.What is really warm about this is how close Scott is to his dad, Carlos, and what a tight knit family they are. ...

Remembering the Rocket's Red Glare
This spicy little book of collected essays on one of the greatest hockey players ever belongs on any true hockey fan's bookshelf. The Rocket was more than just a man, or a hockey player. He was an institution, asevidenced by the recent state funeral for our lost hockey great. The Rocketharkens back to a day when the fighting spirit of a single player couldenliven the hearts and minds of a generation of fans. First-rate! ... Read more

Do NOT purchase this book
This book was horrible.I can't believe I actually made it through the 100 pages.The author talks WAY too much about the history of the league and some of the teams and not nearly enough about Scotty.In short, it was a terrible waste of time and money.

Just Stop Reading
This is one of the worst books I have ever read in my entire life.On top of the author being extremely boring, he can't even get his facts right.There were numerous errors in the book.The most blatant being the authorstating that Mike Vernon won the 1989 Conn Smythe award when in fact is wasAl MacInnis.Another error I found was in starting goaltending.The booksays that Garth Snow started game one of the 1997 Stanley Cup finals, whenin fact it was Ron Hextall.If I picked out these simple errors in thebook, how can I believe any of the other information in it?The author andpublisher should be ashamed of themselves for letting hockey fans read sucha book.The author is a disgrace to hockey.Don't waste your time readingthis book.

Reader Beware
Those intrigued with the Bowman legend-mystique will not find the answer to the perennial question "What makes Scotty Bowman tick?" here.This is not a biography and Hunter does not set out to entertain.Next tono attention is paid to Bowman's childhood, youth, or even to what drew himto the game in the first place.Rather this book is a straightforward, ifsomewhat dry, portrait of post-expansion hockey and Bowman's role in it. Its chief strength is its history of the architecture of the franchises inwhich Bowman has spent his career.Any gleaning the reader may be pick upas to the creation of Bowman's character or the methods of his success are,at best, inferred (although Hunter does put forth a convincing case todispel the myth that Jean-Guy Talbot ended Bowman's playing career). Plenty of quotes from Bowman's associates are included, both pro and con(Bowman himself declined to be interviewed for this work).Yet for avolume that appears to be well documented, steeped in statistics andnumbers, I found at least five immediate errors, not the least of which arethe year of Bowman's birth, and the 1989 Conn Smythe Trophy winner (it wasAl MacInnis -- a fact easily verified in the NHL record book -- not MikeVernon, as Hunter surprisingly states.)If I found these errors, how manyothers will other readers find, and how reliable is the rest of theinformation? ...
