"Car!": A Street Hockey Memoir - Paperback

by L. Wellington (Author)

Participation in road hockey is an experience fondly remembered by generations of Canadians for whom playing on ice was never quite enough. Readers of "CAR!" A Street Hockey Memoir will recognize themselves, their friends, and family members in stories of neighbourhood rivals, homemade equipment experiments, questionable sportsmanship, and more. The traditions of road hockey, the idolization of on-ice heroes, and the culture of 70s hockey fandom are all featured in this humorous collection. Baby boomers especially will enjoy this youthful memoir, but so too will readers with an interest in growing up as Canadians, and our unique passion for the asphalt variety of our national pastime.
