THE HERALD OUTLOOK October 1989- Page Book Hockey anthology is a must for fanatics David Gowdeys hockey an Riding on the Roar of the Crowd is a must for the hockey fanatic Prom Hugh Fury on Ice to Studs Turkels Hockey Player Nesterenko I was not only entertained but also exten sively informed about a game that I love played and now have made a living for almost 20 years In Fury on Ice the razzle daz of elliptical curves probably describes Frank Bouchers hockey style better than anyone has or will It is this style of beautiful pro se that predominates throughout the anthology Gage Educational Publishing pages 95 Doug Sheer Joy of Shinny brings back the fond memories of playing shinny as a boy Building the Gardens was especially fascinating for me since it is now my parttime place of work as a color commentator for Maple Leaf games on radio There are many stories that br ing back memoriesand challenge us to make comparisons Foster Hewitt calling the game from the Old Olympia reminds me of my association with todays Foster Hewitt The Voice of the Maple Bowen Dont get me wrong hes no Foster yet but hes the best ther is no Morley Callaghan puts it best when he says Hockey is our winter ballet and in many ways our only national drama It really shows what hockey meant to Cana dians of vintage The Siberia of Hockey by Don Cherry talks primarily about one of the great characters of his time Eddie Shore and his Springfield In David Gowdy in his Make Believe Gardens piece tells about learning to skate by pushing a kit chair around in front of him Didnt we all learn that way Once Section The Origin has been completed you do have a feel for this great game and what it means to Canadians Section In the Arena deals with some of the great players of the game and their thoughts Hugh Hoods story on Jean Behveau is superb In describing style as completely natural and apparently un- conscious he conveys his ad miration of Bil Ken Drydens piece Saturday tells what its really like in the Canadiens dressing room on game day The accuracy and detail is especially attractive to me If you want to know about the Ken Canadiens then read this I can remember as business manager of Team Canada 76 the pranks of and the complexity of Bowman and the aloofness of Its all there and done masterfully Fred Shero has always been an enigma to me I couldnt believe how he did so much with so little After reading The Flyers Bible I understand Its a must for aspir ing coaches and for those who want success and are willing to work for it The Sad Tale of the New York Rangers and of their wild fans is chronicled masterfully by Jeff Greenfield That Madison Square Garden mob is a unique group and Jeff does a great Job of illustrating this The Enforcer tells us about Brian Spinner Spencer and his trials and tribulations This guy who died of gunshot wounds a year ago after an acquittal on a murder charge was doomed You get that feeling after completing Martin OMalleys piece David Gowdeys suggestions for changing the game was apparently a filler and shouldnt have been included Other tales enrich Che collection including one by Roy MacGregor In Playing Against Orr MacGregor has really captured the essence of one of the games greats Orr seemed to be sitting at a table as he played eyes as alert as a poker player MacGregor plays the role of Bat the Sudbury goon whose job it is to get Orr He tried but didnt quite make it I dug in but he was gone a silent blond in an empty arena MASTERFUL Scott Young as usual does masterful job on his chronicle of Team Canada 74 Hanging Together Falling Apart Even Youngs description of the weather in Vancouver that beautiful September week strikes home It was the first time I had been to Vancouver in four years when the Tretiak the great Soviet goaltender tells us about his great coach Tarasov Before you really know Tarasov you must eat fat sprinkled with name and washed down with Vodka I spent one afternoon in Montreal 77 doing the same thing with Aggie Kukulowicz doing the interpreting I saw him some years and two plastic hips later in Duncan B C The only constant was the diet Tretiak captures the essence of this great Soviet coach David tells us about Wayne Gretzky and its a must read for todays fans Jack Batten really tells it all about Max If you dont know Max after youve read Bat tens piece then its your own fault Peter Gzowskl hockey fan and parttime Momingside host does an interesting piece on the return of theRocket Maurice Richard on enigma at the best of times spent a week Hi Jamaica with Bobby Orr and I and the presence is stilt there Youre never quite sure what the Rocket will do and Gzowski captures that feeling Oldtimer hockey is the central theme of Hugh Hoods The Spor Centre of Saint Vincent Paul There are some literary gems as well in this one The name PIE IX makes me think of the First Vatican Council of 187071 and the promulgatin of the dogma of papal As I said its a little more than just a hockey book OFFICE MAGIC FOR ALL YOUR OFFICE STATIONERY NEEDS 36C SI VITEX 15198554795 SPECIAL BEST PERFORMER 808810 K RAM 1 Floppy 40 MB HO Philips Monitor Call

Howe with Richard and suggests building two rinks beside one another Put Got die in one and Richard in another He has Henri Maurices brother rhetorically ask which one would be filled There are some very descriptive yarns in Richlers piece as well King Clancy has the penultimate comment on elbows They ought to bottle Gordie Howes sweat A touch of sadness closes out contribution when die tells him that he is hustling Am way Say it aint so Gordie For all you Leaf fans Brian Fawcett does a nice spoof on his imaginary tenure with the Leafs Salutin tells us quite nicely what the Canadiens meant to the French people Tim Burke tells us how the Quiet Revolution began the night of the Richard riots Salutin also theorizes that the night of the victory in Quebec was the night that the people of Quebec transferred their need of victory from the shoulders of the hockey team onto their own backs Somewhat preposterous and yet somewhat true Almas Night Out has a familiar ring Any of us who have
