Flip on ESPN and pass me a beer, 15 April 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey (Paperback)
Like the author, I found myself engaged to a die-hard hockey fan. This book is a great place to start for the newly-initiated hockey girlfriend. It's a quick read, the author's racy innuendos give it a Girls' Night Out tone that's a lot more inviting and easier to relate to than other intro books. The stats and trivia are great, but will need to be updated eventually. Nice to see coverage of women's hockey, too. PS - the bit about defensemen on page 19 is totally true ;).

Not just for girlfriends, 26 Aug 2004
By Vincent Poirier - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey (Paperback)
I had two reasons for buying this book. First I'm a Will Ferguson fan; I've read and loved most of his books and his being listed as co-author was good enough for me. Second, despite being Canadian, I am completely ignorant of ice hockey, which comes mostly from a lack of interest. As a Canadian living abroad, I realize that I have ambassadorial duties regarding the promotion of Canadiana, and ice hockey tops the list of Canadiana must-know items. So since girlfriends are seldom interested in sports (he he he) a book written by a woman for women would logically need to drum up interest in the topic, and this it did for me.
Teene Spencer wrote most of it and presents the history of the game, a basic overview of the rules, a survey of the organization, and lists of the greatest players and teams. Husband and boyfriend Bruce Spencer and family friend Will Ferguson pepper the pages with comments and disputes, most prominent of which is the fight-to-the-death over the Montreal Canadiens.
Good read, and informative if you want to get into hockey.

This review is from: The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey (Paperback)
Helpful book but some stuff has changed (as it does with hockey) so some info is dated. The copy I had was published in 1999. An updated edition would be helpful.
Listmania!
