Best Hockey Books
So I'm heading to the beach in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to get my lineup of books set up... looking for some hockey-related material.
Just picked up "Net Worth" on Amazon for like 3 bucks, and "Tough Guy: My Life on the Edge" (about Bob Probert)
Anyone have some good suggestions? I'm not looking for Pens-specific at all, but just hockey in general.

Re: Best Hockey Books
I completely read the title of this thread wrong...
and here I thought this thread was going to be about Paulina Gretzky, Elisha Cuthbert, and Dustin Byfuglien...

I know this is a somewhat lazy response, but you certainly can't go wrong with most of this list (especially Sanderson's)Mr. Colby wrote:This isn't going as well as I had hoped

Re: Best Hockey Books
I can't for the life of me remember the name of the book about life in the locker room over the course of a full season. Road something something...
Very good too: The Hockey News' Century of Hockey and Top 100 NHL Players of all Time.

Re: Best Hockey Books
Guess the book I was thinking of is called On the Road, huh.
Not to be confused with Kerouac's even better book of the same name.

I thought you were thinking of Willam S. Burroughs' The Last Words of Dave Schultz.

Re: Best Hockey Books
Never even heard of that particular Burroughs novel, I must admit.
