Produktbeschreibung

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 us 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 up a rare inside look at the game of hockey and an incredible personal memoir.

This commemorative edition marks the thirtieth anniversary of The Game's original publication. 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.
