Customer comments on the A to Z Guide to Hockey Terms :

"I bought two of these books. One for my wife (and me too) and one for my best friend's family that goes to San Jose Sharks games with us. My wife is already quoting things I didn't know. The other family loves it as well. Plus it's compact, so you can stick it in your back pocket and bring it to the game or have it on the coffee table next to the TV watching the game. Great book."

"Don't let the size fool you, this book is really a winner! From A to Z, everything you need and should know about the game. Everything is short and sweet, but right on the money. Good things do come in small packages!"

"I love this book and would give it to anyone who is interested in hockey. I didn't really know much about hockey until this year when I wanted to find out why my husband liked it so much. What's the big deal? The action is pretty exciting, although I'm not into the fighting. So my husband gave me this book so I could look up all sorts of things about the game. What's a hat trick? or icing? There's a rink diagram showing what the different lines mean and areas on the ice. I even stumped my husband with some trivia about awards. This book lives on my coffee table."

"Before I picked up the A to Z Hockey guide, I only knew a few rules about the game and even then felt a little out of place when talking to hockey fans about the game. Now that I have studied the book, when I am watching the game at the pub I can say things like "oh-no Nasland's in the Sin-Bin again" (Penalty Box) and people are looking at me like I'm some sort of hockey expert."

"If you have friends that are hockey buffs, then you need this book. Packed full of terms, facts and interesting hockey trivia, you'll never be at a loss for words again."
