Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.The 70's were a golden age for professional hockey as the game expanded with new teams. College programs followed suit so the time frame covered by this book is of particular interest for those interested in the history of the sport. This was a time frame in which college programs moved from clubs and intramural to higher quality NCAA competition so it was interesting to hear about the experiences of one person growing up in that time.
The story itself does require appreciate for hockey as well as cultural understanding. There are many stereotypes about it as a sport and it has gone through many changes but has a rich history. The narrative shows a great deal of respect and historical connection but a certain level of detachment. There were high hopes to see growth and motivation behind coaching approaches and ties to the evolution of the game.
A solid book with a lot to offer for hockey fans, at least those that have interest in were it came from as opposed to what it has become.… (meer)

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I abandoned the book halfway through. The book reads like a series of diary entries, rather than a narrative or story. One coaching gig after another. A bunch of games. Lots of name-dropping (players, coaches). Few lessons learned. Little passion. I was looking forward to reading this book because I am a college and professional hockey fan. I'm sorry I couldn't finish it.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I thought that this book was really fun to read! I've only ever watched college hockey and have read about hockey in fiction books so it was interesting to read about the sport from a different perspective. I thought that the book was really great and I found it engaging throughout. I definitely hope that people check it out and get a better view into the life of a hockey player and into coaching.
