You thought you'd read them all, did you? Well, you haven't. Simultaneously loved and loathed, Don Cherry is one of the most talkative and talked-about personalities in hockey today. His more than twenty-five years as a player and coach have informed his popular Hockey Night in Canada commentary segment, "Coach's Corner." And now he's got more stories to share. In Don Cherry's Hockey Stories, Part 2, Grapes tells us about the 2010 Stanley Cup, relays the lessons he's learned both on and off the ice, and takes us inside hockey's mythical players' "code." You'll encounter familiar names from the game and find out who this idol looks up to. You'll travel back in time to Cherry's days playing in the minor leagues. You'll share his experiences of being named Coach of the Year in the NHL and in the AHL. And you'll hear from his kids about what it was like growing up with a dad like Don.. Don Cherry tells it like it is, for better or for worse. You won't be disappointed. P.S. Don wants you to know it's a book the whole family can enjoy.… (more)

If you read and liked the first book, you should enjoy this. As with the last, his stories have neither rhyme nor reason. It seems like he was just telling them to the author who wrote them down without any organization. There is also a section in the book (not in the last) of stories of his two children. I am not sure how I feel about that as I wanted to hear more of Don's stories though some of the insights of the children was interesting.

I hope that he does more books but I think that he could do one entire book of all the stories from HNIC to present. I like his playing and coaching stories but some of the funniest stories seem to always involve Ron. ( )
