An excellent overview of the history and rules of the game of hockey. This walks through the creation of the game as well as biographies of the greatest players of all time. Even though the target of this book may be for the true fan, those who are merely interested in the game will find enjoyment as well.

Inside Hockey by Gary Miles is 155 pages long and was published by Metro Books in 1998. This a non-fiction book about the history of the game of hockey. Inside Hockey tells about the game, its players, rules, and coaches.

It tells great Stanley Cup stories such as the Penguins back to back wins in 91' and 92' and the great players that have played the game. Guys like Wayne Gretzky, Jarri Kurri, Sergei Federov, Terry Sawchuk, and Eric Lindros re just a few that talked about they're playing careers. Many other unheard stories re told by players and coaches.

The nice thing about this book is it is very easy two read and very informative. If you have a strong passion for hockey you wont be able to put this book down for a second. Inside Hockey was a great book by Gary Miles. I haven't read a better book about hockey facts in my life and if you want to learn more about hockey and its history you should check out this book.

I am a huge and avid fan of this sport and received from my sister in law and my brother christmas 2004. Even though it is quite old and most players play for other teams now, the book is filled with cool anectdotes, tidbits and such. The photos are top of the line sports photography and stories. I love it and so will all hockey fans....
