Ice hockey in Britain has been moving from suburban ice rinks to big-city arenas, experiencing an explosion in popularity and building up an army of devoted supporters. However the fast pace of change has not been without costs. Now run by businesmen rather than amateurs, some loyal fans have been alienated by what they see as a betrayal of the game's grass roots traditions. Liam Sluyter talked to coaches, players, fans and officials to gain a sense of the way in which British ice hockey has changed in recent years. This book provides an account of where the sport finds itself in the late 1990s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent insight in UK Hockey, 27 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This book was a real eye opener in terms of the structure of Hockey in the UK and I particularly liked the section from the referee perspective (I will not abuse the ref quite so much now..)

It is clearly written and is easy reading. If your into hockey in the UK this is a worth while read - I hope there is a follow up book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book on a greater sport in the greatest country!, 24 Jul 2000

By A Customer

This book captures the way ice hockey has developed in this country perfectly, from the little aspects like views of ref's to players to the larger aspects such as the new areans. He writes a very un-biased view looking at the good and the bad, not trtying to hide any views. I have now read this book 3 times, that is how powerful it is! Even now I turn back to it for refence to some excellent quotes, this is a must for any Brithish Ice Hockey fan, and even those "accross the Pond" in the US, so they can see that Ice Hockey Is here in the UK and it is here to Stay!
