Our Game: The History of Hockey in Canada (My Canada)

<p>Our Game: The History of Hockey in Canada provides a play-by-play of Canada's national sport’s evolution over three centuries, from the first publicly played game through the recent NHL lock-out. Along with essential information about rules, gear, and stats, readers will learn about hockey’s most unforgettable moments and most talented stars. Little-known facts, amazing photographs (many of which have never been published in a book before), and expertly researched history make this a must-have for every hockey fan! This is the most comprehensive children's book ever written about the history of hockey, from the Canadian perspective. Kids who are passionate about hockey want to know everything there is to know about the game; this book delves into the history of the sport as a whole, rather than focusing on just one era or star player. The book's dynamic design includes sidebars, benchmarks, stats, captions, a quiz, and a glossary, giving children the option to pick up the book and casually thumb through it to glean interesting hockey facts; they can also dive into the captivating narrative that ties the landmark events and heroes of the game together. Targeted at children from ages 8 - 12, this book will also be enjoyed by many generations of hockey buffs; perfect for parents and their children to explore together!</p>

History

Lobster Press

<p>Andrew Caddell, Dave Stubbs and Philip Caddell have written for readers of all ages a wonderful collection of short stories about Canada’s passion for hockey. Ranging from the 1935 Stanley Cup to the present day, The Goal is a salute to the fans who pay to watch, the kids who play the game and the players who never made it. “I have always maintained that you cannot understand a country until you understand the game it plays most passionately. This, then, is more than a book about hockey—it is about the very soul of Canada.” Roy MacGregor, Author of Home Team (Governor General's Award Finalist) “You can feel the cold and hear the cut of skates on a backyard rink—these stories about one family’s love of the game will resonate with anyone who’s worshipped a hockey hero or played the game at any level.” Roger Smith, former CTV News Reporter “There is a timeless charm to the stories of The Goal. They bridge the old-timer's longing for past glory with the rookie's discovery of Canada's greatest game." The Ottawa Review of Books</p>
