What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[Scotty] is the story of one of the game’s greatest coaches written by one of the game’s best goaltenders of all-time, and woven throughout are brilliant stories from two of the greatest minds to grace the ice.” —Ken Campbell, The Hockey News
“It’s possible [Dryden]’s an even better writer than he was a goaltender.” —Mitch Melnick, TSN
“The book is a must-read for fans of the dynastic Canadiens, Lemieux’s Cup-winning Penguins or the Yzerman/Fedorov Wings powerhouse, and because of Dryden’s masterful prose, it should be considered a must-read for all hockey fans. It’s most certainly worthy of Bowman’s and Dryden’s legacies.” —Kevin Greenstein, Inside Hockey
Praise for Game Change:
“As an author, Ken Dryden is known for writing about hockey in a manner in which few others do or are capable. He goes beyond the score lines and cliché-ridden post-game interview style of hockey writing to plumb the depths of the game at levels rarely examined.” —Winnipeg Free Press
“Game Change is arguably Dryden’s most significant book since The Game, which is still widely regarded as the greatest hockey book ever written and as one of the best sports books of all time. As good as The Game was, this latest work is the more important to read right now.” —Brett Popplewell, Globe and Mail
