Widely acknowledged as the best hockey book ever written and lauded by
Sports Illustrated as one of the Top 10 Sports Books of All Time, The
Game is a reflective and thought-provoking look at a life in hockey.
Ken Dryden, the former Montreal Canadiens goalie and former president of
the Toronto Maple Leafs, captures the essence of the sport and what it
means to all hockey fans. He gives vivid and affectionate portraits of
the characters--Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard,
and coach Scotty Bowman among them--who made the Canadiens of the 1970s
one of the greatest hockey teams in history. But beyond that, Dryden
reflects on life on the road, in the spotlight, and on the ice, offering
a rare inside look at the game of hockey and an incredible personal
memoir. This commemorative edition marks the 30th anniversary of the
book's original publication, and it includes a new foreword by Bill
Simmons, new photography, and a new chapter, "The Game Goes On." Take a
journey to the heart and soul of the game with this timeless hockey
classic.
