This review is from: Breed Apart: An Illustrated History of Goaltending (Hardcover)
This is a fabulous and very detailed book about the history of goaltending. The book spans from the very first goaltenders all the way to today's goalies. The book has many great pictures along with stories and interesting facts. The book got me interested right away. It shows pictures all the way from before the 1900's and up to today. Famous goalies such as, Jaques Plante, Terry Sawchuck, and many others. I highly recoment this book for just about anyone. This would be a fabulous book for any goaltender currently playing on a team. The book is so well done and easy to read and follow it really brings you into the time of the earlier goaltenders. Just overall...a great book

Excellent book for the goaltending enthusiast!',
This review is from: A Breed Apart: An Illustrated History in Goaltending (Paperback)
Those of us who play goal know what unique characters we are. This book highlights all the greats from the early days of the sport up to now. Pictures galore. Spreads of early equipment. Full head shots of masks, old and new. Profiles of many of the greats to ever play the position. The innovators and the champions. A well rounded history of the insanely brave men who guard the cages. I reccomend it to all into the sport or the position.
5.0 out of 5 stars
THE Illustrated Goalkeeping Book,
By Hallauthor "Tom A" (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Breed Apart: An Illustrated History in Goaltending (Paperback)
If you have an appreciation for the art and challenge of NHL goalkeeping, this is an indispensible work. Douglas Hunter is one of hockey history's finest authors ( see his bio of Scotty Bowman ) and A Breed Apart is a seminal work. The photographs, many rare, the unique timeline, the attempt to put the different eras into perspective, and the obvious love with which the topic is approached make this book a must-have for any serious student of the game or of the position.
Brilliant!
