Does hockey provide a better understanding of the differences between Canadian and Quebecois nationalisms? Is there a fundamental relationship between the hockey arena and the political arena? What have we lost as a society in abolishing the tie game? Are salaries in the NHL really that outrageous? Is hockey more art than sport? Should hockey players be banned from using performance-enhancing drugs at all costs? Do goalies suffer from angst? Does our national sport have its own mythology and metaphysics? Do hockey brawls reflect our true human nature more than we would care to admit? And what would it be like if the great philosophers were to face off on the ice? This is a team of philosophy and hockey buffs go deep with these fascinating questions and many others in this examination of a worshiped sport elevated to something akin to a cult. Accessibly written and peppered with humour, the essays in this book will charm specialists, sports fans, and everyone in between. Whether you're a fan of Richard, Gretzky, Crosby, Plato, Kant, or Kierkegaard, you're invited to be a spectator at this very special meeting of minds!

The Perfect Man? Terry Davis was a successful self made business man, counseling women in the arts of Love & Happiness. He was on his way to the top and could see a wife and kids if his near future until one woman changed everything. Terry for the moment had disappeared and Dr. T was born, but love comes at a huge sacrifice. The New Love After meeting the new love of his life, is Terry ready to confront his alter ego, Dr. T, and stop making love to all these women only to make love to one. Will he be able to part ways with his way of thinking that all women are queens and feel it's his duty to make them feel as such? Could Dr. T give up knowing just how, when, and where to touch women? How they wanted to be loved physically and mentally? How to stimulate their minds and make them have mind orgasms? How to talk to them to make them feel nothing in the world matters? Can he stop touching them the way that makes these ladies grow goose bumps on top of goose bumps? Could he? Yes he could, but the question is will he? Love or Sex?
