Double Overtime: The Hockey Fan's Ultimate Hockey Book

Stephen Cole is back with his latest book release, Double Overtime . Buy The Book: Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com - Kindle At first look, this book struck me as an eclectic collection of stories and photos, some neat and interesting and some not so much. It appeared to me to be the type of hockey book some publishers like to produce more to tap into the cluttered big box store markets rather than to add much to the world of puck literature (which is kind of funny given that the book is dedicated to hockey writing legend Trent Frayne). That's pretty harsh commentary. It is also not entirely accurate. Upon further review of the text, the more impressed I became. There are some well written essays, one for every team. You can learn about Vancouver's other famous hockey brothers, hockey's most famous fight, New York's hockey rivalry, a look at a young Wayne Gretzky, and hockey's unique place in Nashville. There are some very unique and interesting photos...
