That's what Bill Boyd provides in his rel="nofollow" target="_top">All Roads Lead to Hockey. Boyd, a Canadian reporter who has covered the Olympic Games and word hockey championships, takes the reader from northern Canada to the Texas-Mexico border to show how the game has spread across the continent.
Boyd does not look at NHL teams except to the extent some of those interviewed played or coached in the NHL or aspire to do so. Instead, the odyssey he embarks upon is one devoted to amateur, junior, college and minor league hockey. He takes us to seven North American locations in this adventure, devoting a chapter to each. Two chapters in particular stand out — Boyd's examination of hockey on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation reservation in Manitoba and in Laredo, Texas.
