Non-Fiction
This is hockey in the Canadian, ice, and professional sense.Along with the Americans of course, this is a statistical reference and overview of the National Hockey League from the season before, much as you can find in other sports.

Quite comprehensive, afficionados surely will like this book.

Nice reference guide
This book has a ton of features.It has summaries of every NHL draft, every NHL season up to 98-99, every NHL all-star game, statistics for everyone who has played a game in the NHL or WHA through 98-99 and the Hockey News top 100 players list, plus more.My only complaint I have is that the stats aren't very in-depth.They only feature games played, goals, assists, points, PIMs and +/- for skaters; games played, minutes, W-L-T record, goals allowed and GAA for goalies.Still a nice reference book.

Juvenile ramblings
Hand a second grader a pen and tell them to write down their favorite and least favorite players and teams and you'd probably get a more insightful writing on hockey than this book. For some reason, somebody actually published this book but if you figure USA Today employs Montgomery as their hockey column writer, that says a lot: Mickey Mouse publication equals Mickey Mouse writer. This book is incredibly simplistic, poorly written, and based solely on his personal likes and dislikes in the NHL with little regard to actual factual evidence or insight. Anyone can write down all of the NHL players and say stuff like "I hate this guy." or "This guy is awesome". That is pretty much what this book is...DON'T bother with it. Also, Montgomery's heavy Red Wings bias keeps popping up throughout the book. You mind as well title this "How a Heavily Biased Red Wings Fan With No Actual Background As A NHL Player or Coach Sees the NHL, Written on A Second Grade Level." That's just the thing....Montgomery has NO background as an actual former player or insider in the NHL...he is simply another hockey fan who must have known the right people. He is basically a "parrot" writer...almost everything in this book comes from what someone else said or wrote previous to him and he basically repeats it. There is absolutley nothing in this book you haven't heard before besides his ridiculous potshots at players he personally dislikes.

Don't bother with the book...you could get more interesting commentary on the NHL from the 8 year old down the street playing street hockey.

One of the best hockey books in existance!
I have never seen a more comprehensive collection of hockey data. This book is great. Written in a humorous and entertaining fashion, it never fails to please the reader. A must have for any hockey fan! ... Read more
