1.0 out of 5 stars Very boring and basic, April 30, 2001

This review is from: Hockey Talk (Paperback)

When i saw the cover i jumped to by this book, but after buying it I realized that i was a complete waste of time and money. There is just very little content and material that is useful to anyone with the slightest knowlege of hockey. It might be alright for the beginer, but beyond that level DON'T BUY IT!

This review is from: Hockey Talk (Paperback)

This book was published in 1987 but a goon is still a goon. The book is set up like a dictionary with chapter titles like "Tricks", "Dirty tricks" and "Ouch! Injuries". The Hockey Hockey reading and Source list is huge with many hockey books I never knew existed. Lots of information on older players, line nicknames, and French terms. Plus the price is right. One thing I wish it would have is the story behind the term "hat trick"
