In hockey, goalies have always been a contradiction -- solitary men
in a team game, the last line of defence and the stalwarts expected
to save the day after any and every miscue and collapse from his
teammates. It's no wonder that anyone who played the position has
had his sanity questioned; yet some of the biggest innovations in
the game have come from its puckstoppers. In The Goaltenders'
Union, Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen talk to more than 60 keepers
of yesterday and today, finding common threads to their stories,
and in dozens of interviews about them with other coaches and
players. From Gilles Gratoony the Loony Gratton, who refused to
play because the moon was out of alignment with Jupiter, to
Jonathan Quick, the athletically gifted master keeper of today's
game, the book is an entertaining and enlightening peek behind the
mask.
