On Picking the Five Best Hockey Books

A new book website called Shepherd asked me to pick the top five hockey books.

That was a hard assignment. I eventually narrowed it down to six and, in the end, I reluctantly dropped George Plimpton’s Open Net, a book I love.

Anyway, here’s my list of the five best hockey books. It may be a little idiosyncratic, but maybe you will discover something to add to your reading list.
