Historia
Scotty Bowman is recognized as the best coach in hockey history, and one of the greatest coaches in all of sports. He won more games and more Stanley Cups than anyone else. Despite all the changes in hockey, he coached at the very top for more than four decades, his first Cup win and his last an astonishing thirty-nine years apart. Yet perhaps most uniquely, different from anyone else who has ever lived or ever will again, he has continuously experienced the best of hockey since he was fourteen years old.

Historia
Once upon a time, they taught us to believe. They were the 1980 US Olympic hockey team, a blue-collar bunch led by an unconventional coach, and they engineered perhaps the greatest sports moment of the 20th century. Their "Miracle on Ice" has become a national fairy tale, but the real Cinderella story is even more remarkable. It is a legacy of hope, hard work, and homegrown triumph. It is a chronicle of everyday heroes who just wanted to play hockey happily ever after.

Historia
When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making—and it worked.

From minor-hockey phenomenon to Hall of Fame sensation, Wayne Gretzky rewrote the record books, his accomplishments becoming the stuff of legend. Dubbed “The Great One”, he is considered by many to be the greatest hockey player who ever lived.

All they had to do to get them was make history by drafting them and then figure out how to get them out of the Soviet Union.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1972, MONTREAL FORUM, GAME ONE: The best against the best for the first time. Canada, the country that had created the game; the Soviet Union, having taken it up only twenty-six years earlier. On the line: more than the players, more than the fans, more than Canadians and Russians knew. So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game—on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country—the nation stopped.

It is the greatest American underdog sports story ever told: how a team of college kids and unsigned amateurs, under the tutelage of legendary coach - and legendary taskmaster - Herb Brooks, beat the elite Soviet hockey team on their way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the US - the youngest team in the competition - were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians.

His brashness makes him a magnet for attention, and he does nothing to shy away from it. Most famous for advocating "pugnacity, truculence, testosterone, and belligerence" during his tenure at the helm of the Maple Leafs, Burke has lived and breathed hockey his whole life.

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.

When the Summit Series began on September 2, 1972, Cold War tensions could not have been higher. But that was the whole point of setting up this unprecedented hockey series. Team Canada, featuring the country’s best players—all NHL stars, half of them future Hall of Famers—would play an eight-game series, with four games played across Canada followed by four in Moscow. Almost everyone expected Team Canada to crush their untried opponents eight games to zero, with backups playing the last four games.

More and more fans are watching the NHL each week, but many of them don't know exactly what they should be watching. How does an offense create shooting lanes for its best sniper? When a center breaks through and splits between two defensemen, which defender is to blame? This guide for sports fans on how to watch and appreciate the game of hockey takes you inside a coach's mind as he builds a roster or constructs a game plan, to the chaos of the goalie's crease, and deep into the perpetual chess match between offense and defense.

NHL tough guys all tell the same story. They all grew up dreaming of skating in the big league as stars. Then one day, a coach tells them the only way to make it is to drop the gloves. And every guy says the same thing: I'll do whatever it takes to play in the NHL. Not Stu Grimson, though. When he was offered a contract to patrol the ice for the Calgary Flames, he said no thanks, and went to university instead. And that's the way Grimson has approached his career and his life: on his own terms.

Resumen del Editor
Widely acknowledged as the best hockey book ever written and lauded by Sports Illustrated as one of the Top 10 Sports Books of All Time, The Game is a reflective and thought-provoking look at a life in hockey. Intelligent and insightful, former Montreal Canadiens goalie and former President of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ken Dryden captures the essence of the sport and what it means to all hockey fans. He gives us vivid and affectionate portraits of the characters - Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, and coach Scotty Bowman among them - that made the Canadiens of the 1970s one of the greatest hockey teams in history. But beyond that, Dryden reflects on life on the road, in the spotlight, and on the ice, offering up a rare inside look at the game of hockey and an incredible personal memoir. This commemorative edition marks the 20th anniversary of The Game's original publication. It includes black and white photography from the Hockey Hall of Fame and a new chapter from the author. Take a journey to the heart and soul of the game with this timeless hockey classic.

The biggest paradox in golf is that the harder you try to hit the ball, the worse you do so. In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag.

No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the US - the youngest team in the competition - were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians.

So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game—on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country—the nation stopped.

The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making—and it worked.

For another, and maybe this has something to do with his Canadian heritage, he's a totally obsessive fan of hockey. That makes him a minority within a minority: apparently only five percent of the US population admit to liking hockey more than any other sport.

They are motivators, key strategists, tough bosses, and choreographers. They can be branded as heroes, ousted as scapegoats, quietly valued as friends, and everything in between. It's all in the job description for an NHL head coach. In Behind the Bench, Craig Custance sits down for film sessions and candid conversations with some of the game's most notable modern luminaries - names like Mike Babcock, Joel Quenneville, Dan Bylsma, Ken Hitchcock, and Claude Julien - all of whom share their singular views on topics ranging from leadership secrets to on-ice game plans.

a bit Dry... den again very thoughtful.
Cool to see inside the mind of a great thinking pro hockey player. Had me thinking of Carey Price and the pressure that playing in a fanatical market must bring. The game has become a corporate business where winning every 32nd year would be an equitable outcome. This creates a lack of patience from fans, team administrators, press, and coaches which actually benefits smaller markets IMHO. looking forward to listening to the Bowman book 🙂✌️

Historic book on hockey
An excellent (though starting to get dated) book about the ins and outs of hockey as a profession. The structure is not suited to the audiobook format. Buy Kindle/paper versions, instead.

Best sports book out there
Hockey is probably the one sport I have not coached. As of lately, it is the one sport that has captivated me. During my 20 plus years of coaching, I’ve read tons of coaching and sports books. This one is in the top two. The other being “Scotty”. Dreyden is storyteller like no other. He speaks from the heart. His love of the game and those who played it, pour through every page. Don’t read this one without picking up the other. It’s the perfect one-two punch.
I’m currently in the middle of “Home Game”. Another Dreyden book. I don’t know what it is about this author, but very few have ever grabbed me like he does. His writings have brought out truth that I knew were there, but hadn’t discussed. These books are pullout me back into coaching.

Brilliant, Insightful Dryden at his best
well, almost..the book is so enjoyable, riveting at times..for a fan of Les Canadians in the 70s, incredible, allowing me to touch the team..for a fan of hockey, or, the casual fan, a chance to look inside and maybe become a fan..I loved it..

An excellent book.
I read the paperback many years ago, the reading in Ken Dryden's own voice brings a special cadence and emotion to this audible book.

incredible book
This book is by far the best sports book I've ever read. I'm newly obsessed with hockey and have started listening to hockey books. I foolishly avoided this book, thinking I wouldn't enjoy reading a book from an era of hockey I knew nothing about. If anybody actually reads this review and you have the same doubts that I had, forget them and buy this book. You won't regret it. Now I'm going to start my second Ken Dryden book.

The thinking man's hockey book
Would you consider the audio edition of The Game to be better than the print version?
Dryden is an terrific narrator, someone who obviously wanted to create a great listening experience. In that he succeeded, and you can tell that he truly relished re-reading his story and telling it again.
What did you like best about this story?
Not a whole lot of play by play narration - instead, Dryden focuses on his identity as a Canadian living in Quebec, his feelings about being part of a team and the challenges that come with being a professional athlete. Dryden is a true student of the game, and his description of the changes through the years are equally compelling.
What does Ken Dryden bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
A true narrator's touch, plus an inflection and emphasis that I found to be quite wonderful.

A Great Story Told by the author.
I’ll keep this short—Ken Dryden tells a great story of his playing career… as well as a look at the history of the sport. It truly does live up to its name as the greatest hockey book ever. Also, I’d respectfully disagree about Mr. Dryden’s reading—his pace is solid and I’d always rather have the author read it then someone else. He doesn’t disappoint.

The Best Hockey Book of it's Time
Ken Dryden starts off highlighting the stories and life of a professional hockey player in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's, and finishes by covering the evolution and meaning of the game of the course of it's history. Dryden is brutally honest about the inter-generational politics as the game evolved from it's roots, into the national sport of Canada, into the North American and European game that drove passion and energy between the United States and the U.S.S.R. Easily the most interesting analysis of the game, the league, and it's players written when this book was published!

More than just a game
Starts a little slow, but once it picks up around chapter five it does not stop! Such a great book with solid insight into what lies beneath the surface of hockey.
