A book of fascinating conversations with hockey goalies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent look at goalies from the present and recent past. You'll learn more about your favorites and get a welcome introduction to others (many of whom are still playing) you haven't heard as much about. You can open the book, start reading at the beginning, middle, or end, and you'll have a good time!
This is a great book for hockey fans everywhere.

A must read for young goaltenders and their parents!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a parent of a goaltender, who of course wants to make it to the NHL, I found this book to be very encouraging. Every goaltender can and does have bad games. If you have the heart, you have a chance to make it.
An excellent read for sports story fanatics

The best part about this book is that it's in the players' own words. For anyone who enjoys stories about old time hockey this is a must read.
