Golden Oldies: Stories of Hockey’s Heroes

This is the most haphazard collection of hockey nostalgia I have ever come across. It feels as though Mr MacFarlane cobbled together a bunch of stuff he had lying around which had not been be included in any of his other publications. While there is plenty here to interest hockey aficionados, the structure of the book makes it difficult to enjoy as we jump from topic to topic without any rhyme or reason; tales of tragic career ending injuries are rapidly followed by happy reminiscences of Olympic glory. This is a book written more for hockey fans than for fans of literary merit, irritatingly.

I received this book free through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review.
