Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hockey has become the toughest sport around. Despite the controversy over violence in the NHL, fans have always appreciated the roughness of hockey, a sport known for vicious checking, on-ice fights, and determined players who refuse to let an injury slow them down. Hockey's unofficial warrior code stems from a long tradition of physical contact, endurance, mental toughness, and an honorable acceptance of pain. The player who does whatever is necessary is revered by teammates and coaches alike. He may not always score a goal or make the headlines, but his hard work forms the backbone of a successful team.
It is this warrior-player that Crunch uncovers. Crunch introduces bodychecking and shotblocking players, power forwards, agitators, and fighters, from the legendary warriors-on-ice such as Gordie Howe and Bobby Baun, to the current tough-guy stars of the NHL, including:
* Darren McCarty
* Stu Grimson
* Keith Tkachuk
* Eric Lindros
Read stories about players who go back into the game with painful injuries, on-ice rivalries, powerful checks, and great shot blocks. The history of fighting and the future of violence in hockey is addressed in this powerful tribute to the players who go out there night after night and fight for their team. The book includes 60 Black & white and sixteen colour photographs.

Rated by buyers -
The Hockey News recently listed the 100 most influential people in hockey. Read "Crunch" and you'll know why Kevin Allen was on that list. An informative and entertaining book that chronicles the sport's physical side, it's a MUST read for every fan of the "Coolest Game on Earth"!
Rated by buyers -
Kevin Allen shows why hockey is more than just a contact sport. He speaks of the grit and guts required to succeed in the sport. It is also well written and the style does not become burdensome. This book is great.
