Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A readable and informative general guide, Hockey for Kids: Heroes, Tips, and Facts by Brian McFarlane not only covers the rules and history of the game, but tells why hockey pucks are frozen before a game (to make them faster) and what the littlest players are called (those under eight are often "mites"). The varied format includes an interview with a referee, a gallery of goalies' masks and a cartoon history of the Stanley Cup trophy. Illustrations by Bill Slavin supplement the many photographs. -- Publisher's Weekly, 10/14/96
