Line changes, limited time outs, and pucks traveling 100 miles per
hour-hockey is called "the fastest game on Earth" for a reason.
Keeping up with this non-stop action, especially for decades on
end, takes a special kind of talent. Today's NHL broadcasters
capture the game in arguably the most difficult capacity in the
world of sports, giving the fans a guide to the action in a way
nobody else could. With careers outlasting the players, coaches,
general managers, and, in some cases, the city itself, the NHL's
broadcasters have more than their fair share of stories to tell. In
The Voices of Hockey: Broadcasters Reflect on the Fastest Game on
Earth, Kirk McKnight takes thirty-four of the game's most gifted
play-by-play broadcasters-including nine hall of famers-and shares
their many insights, memories, and experiences. These broadcasters
have witnessed all-time greats such as Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull,
Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, and Alexander
Ovechkin, making them the ideal voices to pay tribute to the
legends of yesterday and the heroes of tomorrow. The Voices of
Hockey brings the reader down to the surface of the ice to
experience overtime marathons, record-setting performances,
bloodied fights, intense rivalries, and the raising of the Stanley
Cup, with details and inside perspectives from some of the most
qualified spectators of the game. From Bob Miller's description of
"The Miracle on Manchester" to John Kelly's childhood recollection
of Bobby Orr's famous "flying goal," this book is truly an
encapsulation of the NHL over the past fifty years. Generations of
hockey fans will enjoy reliving their favorite moments and reading
about those they missed in this unique and captivating view of the
fastest game on Earth.
