Brian McFarlane, "A Helluva Life in Hockey: A Memoir"
English | ISBN: 1770415440 | 2021 | 352 pages | EPUB | 21 MB
A captivating memoir from Canada's foremost hockey historian and a beloved NHL commentator It's been 85 years since Brian McFarlane first laced a pair of skates and tested the black ice on a tiny pond. And then he discovered the joy of hockey. Ultimately, there would be grade school hockey, high school hockey, junior hockey, college hockey, and, miraculously, two decades with the NHL Oldtimers anchoring his life. He was the rank amateur playing on a line with the Big M and Norm Ullman, facing off against icons like Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay at Maple Leaf Gardens ― even scoring a goal. He suited up at the Montreal Forum, elbow-to-elbow against John Ferguson, before thousands of fans. (There was even a stint with the Flying Fathers who ordained him a "Bishop" after a hat trick.) Off the ice, in 1960, McFarlane was the first Canadian to be a commentator on CBS's coverage of the NHL. He also survived 25 years of Hockey Night in Canada ― despite confrontations with Punch Imlach, Harold Ballard, Bobby Hull, and Eddie Shack. Now, in this revealing autobiography, he remembers it all. For Brian McFarlane, it has been a helluva life in hockey.

Canadian Hockey Literature: A Thematic Study By Jason Blake
2010 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 080209984X | PDF | 2 MB
Hockey occupies a prominent place in the Canadian cultural lexicon, as evidenced by the wealth of hockey-centred stories and novels published within Canada. In this exciting new work, Jason Blake takes readers on a thematic journey through Canadian hockey literature, examining five common themes - nationhood, the hockey dream, violence, national identity, and family - as they appear in hockey fiction. Blake examines the work of such authors as Mordecai Richler, David Adams Richards, Paul Quarrington, and Richard B. Wright, arguing that a study of contemporary hockey fiction exposes a troubled relationship with the national sport. Rather than the storybook happy ending common in sports literature of previous generations, Blake finds that today's fiction portrays hockey as an often-glorified sport that in fact leads to broken lives and ironic outlooks. The first book to focus exclusively on hockey in print, Canadian Hockey Literature is an accessible work that challenges popular perceptions of a much-beloved national pastime.

Canada's Game: Hockey and Identity By Andrew C. Holman

Skinazi (University of Alberta), and Julie Stevens (Brock University).From the book:The Giller Prize-winning author, David Adams Richards, tells a humorous anecdote from his days as a writer-in-residence at the University of New Brunswick - Fredericton. It was in 1984, on the day after Team Canada had defeated the hated Soviet national team 3 to 2 in overtime and, a committed hockey fan, he was dying to chat with someone, anyone, about the great victory the night before. The first person he encountered was a young English professor, a good but perhaps pretentious scholar who had once been overheard saying that she could not see how anyone could live without reading Henry James. Despite her erudition, like Richards she was from small-town New Brunswick, and because of this, he thought, she must be a hockey fan. "Did you see the game last night?" No, she replied, "we don't have a television ... don't approve of it," but continued on saying that her husband had been eager to find out the result that morning on the radio."He's heartbroken," she said. "We were going for the Russians." Richards' face displayed his bewilderment at her treasonous statement."Well we both hate Gretzky, you see." Her accent now turned slightly British ..". he's just such a Canadian." She smiled. He paused, uncomfortably, and then asked her:"You hate greatness ... or just Canadian greatness?"
