Customer Reviews

Excellent Hockey Book

I found this book very easy to read. It has everything I've always wanted to know about hockey in it. I've recommended it to several of my friends who have sons who play hockey and they found it to be very helpful and informative.

Very readable ...

Short biographies on the top hockey players and top teams in the NHL are complemented by paragraphs on hockey's various leagues, cups, international events, rules and terms. There are numerous black & white photos throughout. A very readable book and it's small enough (9.25in x 7.5 in) to be portable and sit on the bedside table.
