Hey guy's figured we could have a Hockey Book thread and talk about some of the books about Hockey we love and to maybe give some people ideas on what they could maybe read

Last book I read was “Between the lines” it was about Ray “Scampy” Scapinello’s Ref carrer in the NHL, I loved it, and it was a good outlook on the life of a Ref and how they get along with players and the life as a NHL Ref

Book I just picked up today was " The Code" The Unwritten Rules Of Fighting And Retaliation In The Nhl Can’t wait to get into this

HOCKEY TEMPER!

I’m a sucker for the histories of competing leagues, so The Rebel League was one of my favorite reads. Makes you wonder how the term “major league” has evolved over the years.

Phil Esposito’s Thunder and Lightning was pretty good – gave a pretty good glimpse at the old NHL. Me gusta.

Oh, I read Eleven Seconds by Travis Roy as well – parts were sad, parts were happy, all in all, it was a good book and I flew through it.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

Jack Falla’s
Home Ice
Open Ice
and the fiction book that half-ripped-off Dryden’s “The Game” but was still good

Dryden’s The Game
Espo’s Thunder and Lightning
Open Net

Don Cherry’s Hockey Stories and Stuff part 1
Wyshinski’s 10 Cent Beer and Glow Pucks

It’s a thick read but Deceptions and Doublecross is a fascinating look at how the NHL became the NHL.

on my current “to read” list:
Future Greats and Heartbreaks

Slapshot Original by Dave Hanson is an awesome read. He really does a good job making an image of what minor league hockey was like in the 70’s.
