I'm not sure if this book has been discussed (didn't see anywhere), but great read for this time of year.

Also great last minute gift idea for any hockey fan!

Hear is a thorough review with some highlights:

Excerpt:

Thirty Years Of The Game At Its Best, edited by Gare Joyce, is an invigorating look at the past thirty years of Hockey Canada’s highly successful Program of Excellence.

Sometimes talent and hard work just aren’t enough. Sometimes even Wayne Gretzky isn’t enough, as Canada found out the hard way at the 1978 IIHF World Junior Championship in Montreal.

Thanks for this!

I always thought Gare Joyce should have written a indepth look at Canada's 5 Gold from 2004 to 2009. I think it would be a GREAT read.

Your wife is lucky! My boyfriend is American and into FOOTBALL and doesn't really get that interested in hockey (although I am trying to change that.)

Hi CR007,

Help me understand more about this book. Is the book:

1) pictures from 30 years of WJR's?
2) where an individual story, from each WJR's, is examined from a Canadian perspective?
3) something else?

Anybody give or receive today?!?

KevyD: Each of the last 30 yrs with an individual story from various writers and perspectives.
