Summary:
"
One
man
's search to answer the ultimate question in sports: Why is
hockey
so incredibly
awesome
? DAVE HILL -- author, actor, rock musician and stand-up comedian -- is an outstanding American.
One
thing that makes him stand out is that he'
s
part Canadian -- an advantage he explored in his previous book, Parking the Moose. Another is that he'
s
obsessed with
hockey
. That makes him
one
of only five percent of Americans who've declared they like
hockey
more than any other sport. Unbelievable but true. In The
Awesome
Game
, Dave tackles this mind-blowing conundrum with full force, drilling down into what makes
hockey
so vitally important in so many parts of the world, despite the average American not recognizing its preeminent greatness. His search for the very soul of
hockey
takes him across the globe, from Canada (of course) to Poland, Kenya, even New York, to observe on-ice action, mingle with fans and interrogate some of the sport's greatest players and pundits. The
Awesome
Game
is bursting with passion, expert in its analysis and as deeply entertaining as the
game
itself (but funnier)."--Publisher.
