About This Item
Toronto: Collins, 1988. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 292 pages. The true story of the all-Canadian dream - to represent Canada in international hockey. But, in the hands of novelist turned sports reporter Paul Quarrington, the dream turns into a rambunctious romp over two continents, with the most original cast of stickhandlers and puck stoppers ever to lace up skates - our national hockey team! Mixes stories from such places as Grindelwald, Switzerland and Sudbury, Ontario, Quarrington carves out a hockey beat that few would imagine ever existed. Includes characters such as Sean Burke, Bobby Joyce and Dave King. Small remainder mark upon top edge of text else clean and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy..
