Guts And Go Great Saskatchewan Hockey Stories

Saskatchewan is well known for its wheat, big skies and social innovations. It's also famous as a hockey hotbed. The NHL would not be the supreme league it is today without the many Saskatchewan pucksters who have skated and scored for all the pro teams. But Saskatchewan hockey is more than a breeding ground for the NHL. Indeed, Saskatchewan has a hockey culture all its own. Yorkton writer Calvin Daniels has been following Saskatchewan hockey for years. In Guts and Go, he writes about the pervasive hockey culture that thrives in rinks and arenas throughout the vast province. In these entertaining stories, readers will discover not only some of the well-known stars, but also the local players and teams who bring excitement and pride to communities across the province. Here are the true-grit stories of Saskatchewan hockey. Hayley Wickenheiser, Tiger Williams, Red Berenson, Clark Gillies, Bryan Trottier, Johnny Bower and Wendel Clark are just a few of the stars featured here. You'll also meet Fred Sasakamoose, the first Aboriginal person in the NHL, and Mike Merriman, three-time captain of Canada's deaf team and twice world gold medalist. Some of the community stories include the Regina Silver Foxes, who made national news headlines when they finally won a game after chalking up the most consecutive loses; the Lloydminster Blazers winning the province's first Allan Cup in decades; and, of course, Wilcox, home to Notre Dame and its internationally renowned youth hockey program. Guts and Gois written for anyone, young or old, who enjoys hockey and hockey stories.Daniels, Calvin is the author of 'Guts And Go Great Saskatchewan Hockey Stories', published 2004 under ISBN 9781894384803 and ISBN 1894384806.
