As a very recent hockey fan of only two years, I have to read anything on the subject. So this has been on my kindle for a couple of weeks. What better way to acknowledge the birthday of the PandaBatWolf who got me hooked?

Fun book. Lots of facts, lovely illustrations, and a place of honor for the Zamboni. As a Canes fan show more I have tremendous respect for the machines and the drivers thereof.
