There seems to be a number of different books in recent years dedicated to hockey terminology. But this one is special in that it is specifically geared at younger readers, specifically kids in elementary and middle schools. And hey, aren't those the people that who would best appreciate a book a hockey dictionary?

They will appreciate the Goldner's clear and entertaining approach on over 300 hockey words and phrases. And Heeley's humorous cartoons scattered throughout never give any impression that this book is technically a reference book. No, it is a fun book that entertains and engages young readers.
