It's raining rats!

This is not just one of those "Season in the Life of..." type sports books. In the same vein as Roy MacGregor's pioneering look at the expansion Ottawa Senators early years and the NHL, this book shows all the machinations and goings-on behind the scenes in south Florida as the Panthers captured the area's imagination. There is a great story within this on how Bobby Clarke (then with Florida) conned Brian Burke (then with Hartford) at the Cats' first foray into the amateur draft. I also loved the stuff on how Doug MacLean and Bryan Murray shaped the '96 Stanley Cup Final team.

The Panthers is best in NHL

An interesting and unique book by Dave Rosenbaum.

Miami Ice is a book for every hockey fan and not just Florida Panthers fans. This great book describes the chemistry and heart of a group of players who worked hard to reach the Stanley Cup Finals.The attitudes and characteristics of the players in the book are similarly portrayed by the great players of the Florida Panthers. I read this book in one day, never being able to put it down. It grasps you, especially if you are a hockey fan. It shows that the players are human and they have humorous sides and aren't just hockey playing machines.A great read.
