Jim Roberts and Arthur Mintz have put together a beautiful book all faithful Cornell hockey fans - of multiple generations - simply have to have. In Forever Faithful: Celebrating The Greatest Moments in Cornell Hockey  have a stunning tribute to the Big Red. They look at the last 60 years of the hockey team's modern history - both men's and women's - and honour the great teams, many heroes and the wonderful fans. Roberts and Mintz accomplish this by reliving 24 of the greatest games in Cornell hockey history. That includes the 1967 and 1970 national championships, including the magical 29-0 1970 season. These memories make up the bulk of this 280 page shrine which is loaded with photos. A big reason for Cornell's success in the late 1960s was due to it's most famous graduate - goaltender (and history student) Ken Dryden. Dryden, a noted author in his own right, wrote the book's foreword. It is beautifully done, and naturally draws all hockey rea...

As hockey books begin hitting store shelves, a common question I've been getting is this: Which new hockey book are you looking forward to the most? The answer is unequivocally Game Change: The Life and Death of Steve Montador and the Future of Hockey by Ken Dryden Earlier this year I wondered what Dryden, hockey's most interesting man, was up to. Then came word of this ever so promising title. The former Hall of Fame goaltender - recently named as one of the top 100 NHL players of all time - turned author/educator/Toronto Maple Leafs executive/politician has not been heard from a lot since losing his seat and federal cabinet position in 2011. He has been teaching a Canadian Studies course at McGill University in Montreal since. But he has also been working on the new book about Montador, concussions and the future of hockey. Dryden, of course, is noted author. He is most famous for his 1983 book The Game, which was both a commercial and especially a critical succes...

Dallas Stars are leading the league as a first class organization in many ways off the ice. One small example - they are bucking the trend on paperless season tickets. Instead, they pamper their season ticket holders with a box of gifts as well as the traditional tickets. One of the gifts to surprise their clients this year is the new book Texas On Ice: Pro Strides To The Stars. The book looks at the history of professional hockey in Texas from 1942 through to 1993 when the Dallas Stars arrived. They thoroughly have it all from the Houston Apollos to the Amarillo Wrangers to the Fort Worth Texans to Gordie Howe's Houston Aeros. The book is beautifully laid out with amazing action photography, both in color and in black and white. The text compliments the photos nicely with text that recaptures the characters, the rivalries and the Texan hockey heroes of yesterday. A statistical package completes the book perfectly. The book is a group effort funded by t...
