Ice Hockey Books

If you want hockey stats, look no further than The National Hockey League Official Guide & Record Book. Not only is it comprehensive, but the layout makes finding information as easy as an empty netter.

A must if you are involved in a fantasy hockey league

I am a die-hard NHL fan, and there is no better book than this one. Everything you ever wanted to know about the NHL is here. It includes a section on every team, and includes stats and records for all 30 teams. In addition, it tracks the entire history of the NHL season by season, as well as the playoffs. Finally, the most incredible feature is the player directory, which lists a bio and the stats of every player who suited up for a game last year. This is a must for any NHL fanatic.

I am a big fan of the NHL and this book gave me all the information I needed to get ready for the season. It has info on all the teams and top players and it is well-written.

This book has everything you wanted to know about the NHL teams. Although a little dated it is still up to date but off 6 years. But that is fine. This book tells you what each team's stadium seating capacity and stanley cups they won. It also shows at the back of the book the list of Hockey Hall Of Fame inductees. In this book is the history of the NHL.

This is a great book for people who want to understand the game. It answers questions from the exact length of the ice, lines on the ice, etc. to the different hand motions on the penalties called by the referee. I give this one 5 stars!!!

What can I say, I love hockey and rules are easy on the face but truly intricate on deeper inspection. Do you know what constitues goalie interference if a player is moving toward the netminder with the puck and elbows him during the act of shooting? Do you know what is considered too many men on the ice when it seems that, for each line change, the fresh players come off the bench before the outgoing stickers are technically off the ice? Do you know if it is a legitimate goal if a player scores a goal off his kneepad by inadvertantly deflecting an opponenets pass into the net? If you do not care about these types of questions, then might I suggest that you take up badminton. If you do, then keep this little dandy in your pokcet or TV stand for the next game and enjoy it on a whole new level. Who knows, you might be wearing the white and black stripes in your favorite easy chair. Note to book purchasers: whistle not included. Skate hard!

As a player, coach, general manager, scout and broadcaster, Glen Sonmor has seen it all out on the ice over the past 75 years and it all comes to life in the pages of "Old Time Hockey," a hilarious and heart-warming biography about one the of game's greatest living legends. World renowned in hockey circles as a master story-teller, Sonmor opens the vault and dishes the goods about everything from his playing days with the old Minneapolis Millers and New York Rangers; to his coaching stints with the University of Minnesota, the WHA's Fighting Saints, NHL's Minnesota North Stars and IHL's Minnesota Moose. Sonmor, who presently serves as both a radio color analyst for the Golden Gopher hockey team as well as a scout for the NHL's Minnesota Wild, talks candidly about everything from his career-ending eye injury, to how he overcame his extremely emotional battle with alcoholism. Mixed in between, Sonmor opens up about the two driving forces in his life, hockey and alcoholism, as well as his two guardian angels and heroes -- John Mariucci and Lou Nanne. It is an inspirational story about hope, perseverance and gut-busting humor. From tales of bench-clearing brawls to thoughts and opinions about the current state-of-the-state of the game today, it's all in there. Enjoy!

A very nice book on the little told world of oldtimer hockey tours.
There is one scene in the book, where the oldtimers play a gag on an unsuspecting rock singer on one of the teams that night, that is hysterical.
Overall, very worthwhile for hard-core hockey fans.

I loved all the stories about National Team players. Without that book I would of never found out about the greatset player ever,Hayley Wickenheiser! I recomend this book to anybody who loves women's hockey with a passion. Carrie Horbatuk Age 1
