"Hockey in Canada has run a parallel course through the last century with baseball in America. Hockey is to Canadians what baseball is to Americans. This is the first book I've read that captures that sense of history, continuity, and passion. The game of hockey is woven into the fabric of everyday life from the big cities to the remote prairie towns. Instead of a straightforward chronological narrative of the history of hockey, each chapter centers on a key theme, person, or event. These stories combine to create a rich, heartfelt, and accurate picture of everything we love about the game."
"There's a very detailed chapter in this book about hocky in the USSR; I read just that part of the book for a class, and learned more about my personal hero, Vyacheslav Fetisov. He's the former captain of the Russian team who lost to the Americans in 1980, and who broke down the Iron Curtain before it fell, for Russian players to come to America.
Dealing with two of my passions, Russian and hockey, it gave me a much greater appreciation for what the Russians had to go through to get where they are, and the kind of people they are, not to mention how compliated and exciting hockey can be!
Ken Dryden has a history in the NHL, as a player and a coach I think, or one of the two. His writing style is detailed and realistic; he tells all about the experiences of the Americans in the USSR and the amazing culture shock they experienced."
