The Golden Generation

“Oren Weisfeld does an excellent job of weaving through the basketball landscape and taking the time to speak with the people involved in Canadian Basketball over all these years.” — Tariq Sbiet, North Pole Hoops“Oren Weisfeld has written an important book on an important subject: the trajectory of Canadian basketball … Weisfeld captures the highs and lows of the journey, with voices from the sport’s gritty past and luminous present. Essential reading for basketball fans of any country, but especially for fans of Canadian sports history.” — Michael Grange, Sportsnet“Through extensive interviews with a long line of key Canadian basketball figures, Weisfeld’s work travels into the past to journey ahead to the present and beyond, all the while telling the story in a no holds barred fashion, unafraid to ruffle feathers in the process.” — Ryan Wolstat, Toronto Sun“Weisfeld answered the question of what was going on with Canada Basketball even as Canadian basketball exploded. He wrote a fantastic book. Enjoy The Golden Generation when it comes out. It is a fitting testament to the story of Canadian basketball, and it is a point of pride that it comes from a former Raptors Republic writer.” — Louis Zatzman, Raptors Republic“Few people follow Canadian basketball closer, or know it better, than Weisfeld.… This book will be a good companion to keep at hand as Canada’s Golden Generation looks to achieve its promise at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and win Canada’s first medal in Olympic basketball since Victoria players Doug Peden and Art and Chuck Chapman captured silver at ­Berlin in 1936.” — Cleve Dheensaw, Times Colonist
