Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Every Canadian town has a hockey story, and Ron MacLean has a hockey story for every town. When you first meet Ron MacLean, he asks where you're from, and he always comes back with a story. In his 28 years on Hockey Night in Canada and now as host of Rogers' Hometown Hockey, Ron has met fascinating people from coast to coast and has great stories to tell. MacLean is back, with brand new tales from across the country. Fom London to Castlegar, Yellowknife to Cole Harbour, Medicine Hat to Trois Rivieres, from Bantam to Junior B to the NHL, our country is full of great characters: Players, coaches, hockey moms and hockey dads; rivalries, practical jokes, careers that grew out of nothing and "can't lose" prospects who flamed out too soon; spectacular triumphs, heart-breaking tragedies and tales of friendship, betrayal, love and loyalty -- all compelling, entertaining and inspiring.

Oldtimers [eBook] : on the road with the legendary heroes of hockey

By Mason, Gary, 1955-
2003., Greystone Books Edition: eBook ed. Summary Note: Every year, a team of ex-NHLers, including such greats as Bobby Hull, Tiger Williams and Frank Mahovlich, travels around Canada playing hockey and raising money for charity. Known as the "NHL Oldtimers" or "Legendary Heroes of Hockey," they get the kind of attention that Mario Lemieux and Paul Kariya get today. When the Oldtimers played in Edmonton last year, 15,000 fans attended. In Winnipeg, the 17,000-seat arena was sold out; and the 20,000-seat Calgary Saddledome is sold out every year for their games.
