Christmas Presents for Hockey Lovers

[Canesluver]

I'll start off the thread with some book recommendations.

When I was in Canada this past week, I noticed in the Book reviews section of Saturday's The Globe and Mail, that they did a two-page spread called, "Hockey Night at the Bookstore." Just thought I'd share, since Christmas is just around the corner (for your own personal list, or for your shopping list). Here's the books they covered:

Between the Lines: Not-so-Tall Tales from Ray "Scampy" Scapinello's Four Decades in the NHL
by Ray Scapinello and Rob Simpson

Brodeur: Beyond the Crease
by Martin Brodeur and Damien Cox

A Canadian Saturday Night: Hockey and the Culture of a Country
by Andrew Podnieks

Celebrating the Game: Photographs from the Bereswill Collection at the Hockey Hall of Fame
by Andrew Podnieks

Hockey: A People's History
by Michael McKinley

Hockey Haiku: The Essential Collection

Midnight Hockey: All About Beer, the Boys, and the Real Canadian Game

CL, thanks for that list. I've been rattling my brain for something for my brother Mickey other than a poster, etc.

This is one that Buccigross keeps recommending and I bought a couple of winters ago and read it. It really is the book to curl up and read on a cold night in front of the fire. Just a really good read.

When I looked it up on Amazon, it recommended this child's book which look ADORABLE!

I saw the Zamboni book at the Hall of Fame! It's great! I almost bought it ... but then, I didn't know who'd I give it to.... so I didn't! :lol:

I've got the Z for Zamboni book, for my (now) 7-year old son... He loves it!
