Hockey's Sticks and Stones is a memoir of Carl Johnson, Squire, "Star of Stage, Screen and Red Neck Bars". It is eminently invigorated with truthfulness, unflinching and absorbed in determination.The author's career in sports uniquely exposes the frailty of our brethren while assisting others to achieve new levels of insanity in the process.It is probable that some will judge the author's literary efforts as "supremely unconventional." When asked of his vision on present day sports..... the author responded, "PLEASE CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA!"The author is a sometimes hockey player, country music singer, inventor and entrepreneur - qualities of an endangered species. But he remains mindful of the Don Quixote of windmills and is a lover of nature and pretty girls.The author currently resides in Ontario's Niagara Region, but Cape Breton will always be his home.

From professional team sports to international events such as the Olympics and Tour de France, the modern sports industry continues to attract a large number of spectators and participants. This book, edited by John K. Wilson and Richard Pomfret, analyzes the economic evolution of sports over the last 150 years, from a pastime activity to a big business enterprise. It begins at a time when entrepreneurs and players first started making money from professional sports leagues, through to the impact of radio and TV in the twentieth century, and on to the present day. Using examples from sports across the world, the chapters cover such important issues as player migration, labor market restrictions, stadium arrangements and the rise and fall of workplace provisions. Unlike most sports economic texts, the contributors featured here provide insights into the historical origins of many practices and policies peculiar to the industry. This historical perspective casts light onto the development of practices, such as labor market regulations and public policies, which have become more prevalent in the modern age. The non-technical, user-friendly nature of this book will appeal to many students, particularly those enrolled in sports economics courses - a field of study which is increasingly common. Academics will also find this book to be a timely reference for their research and teaching. Contributors include: L. Borrowman, A. Carter, J. Cranfield, L. Frost, A.K. Halabi, K. Inwood, A. Kawaura, S. La Croix, M. Lightbody, J.-F. Mignot, R. Pomfret, J.A. Ross, W. Vamplew, J.K. Wilson
