A veteran hockey writer takes on hockey culture and the
NHL--addressing the games most controversial issue Whether its
on-ice fist fights or head shots into the glass, hockey has become
a nightly news spectacle--with players pummeling and bashing each
other across the ice like drunken gladiators. And while the NHL may
actually condone on-ice violence as a ticket draw, diehard hockey
fan and expert Adam Proteau argues against hockeys transformation
into a thuggish blood sport. In Fighting the Good Fight, Proteau
sheds light on the many perspectives of those in and around the
game, with interviews of current and former NHL stars, coaches,
general managers, and league executives, as well as medical
experts. One of the most well-known media figures on the hockey
scene today, famous for his funny, feisty observations as a writer
for the Toronto Star and The Hockey News and commentator on CBC
radio and TV, Adam Proteau is also one of the few mainstream media
voices who is vehemently anti-fighting in hockey. Not only is his
book a plea to the games gatekeepers to finally clamp down on the
runaway violence that permeates the sport even at its highest
level, he offers realistic suggestions on ways to finally clean the
game up. * Includes interviews with medical experts on
head injuries and concussions, as well as with other members of the
media * The author not only wages an attack on the value
of fighting in hockey--but also on the establishment hockey culture
Covering the most polarizing issue in hockey today, Fighting the
Good Fight gives hockey fans and sports lovers everywhere a reason
to stamp their feet and whistle--at a rare display of eloquence and
common sense. WebCatUpdater-Profile_26@1326742171896
