Reviews for Hockey Hall of Fame True Stories 2

The variety of stories here are engaging, and I must say I love that each story is rather condensed. You don't need to devote hours here. You can steal a few minutes in your day, read a take or two, and move on, happy for the little break and a good story... Certainly, the style of book should make it a popular gift over the upcoming holidays, ideal for hockey fans, especially for those with some gray hair upon their heads.--Calvin Daniels ""SaskToday"" (10/31/2024 12:00:00 AM)
