What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[Ken Dryden is] [h]ockey’s brainiest practitioner[…]The story has grace and pride in the telling, and soul as well.”—Canada’s History
“Over 192 beautiful pages, the book combines one player’s memories of the Summit Series with photos, letters and other mementoes to give the reader a deeply personal glimpse at eight games that united a nation.”—CBC
“Dryden’s erudite and heartfelt retelling of the events of that summer is a must-read for students of the game, and the beautifully packaged book with its myriad color photos is the perfect gift for hockey fans everywhere.”—The Hockey Writers
“A marvelous tribute to one of the greatest sports events of the 20th century and – to many historians and fans alike […] Like Dryden himself in that 6-5 Game Eight finale in Moscow, the book comes out a winner.”—International Ice Hockey Federation
“… an interesting one-sitting read with great photographs”—The Peterborough Examiner
“The Series is not so much a chronicle of the games as an assembly line of word pictures spilling from the memory of what it felt like to a thoughtful, observant, and articulate man who not only was there, but out there on the ice both in Canada and Moscow.”—Winnipeg Free Press
