Industry Reviews
Imagine for a moment standing on two blades of steel in an area six by four feet, attempting to stop a frozen rubber object traveling at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. Anyone who dares this is indeed a breed apart. Hunter's (Open Ice: The Tim Horton Story, Penguin, 1994) current publication chronicles the evolution of goaltending, beginning in 1875, when goalies wore no special equipment, to the present day of netminders who look more like knights of old rather than professional athletes. Features worth noting are biographical profiles, chapters on international play, a recounting of the development of the mask, and a number of photographs and charts. Hunter's fascinating study is sure to be enjoyed by hockey enthusiasts of all ages. Recommended for sports collections. L.R. Little, Penticton P.L., B.C.
