Robidoux employs an impressive array of ideas from sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and feminist theory to interpret the homosocial, occupational culture of professional hockey players. Thomas Dunk, author of It's a Working Man's Town: Male Working-Class Culture Men at Play is a well-researched and documented study, offering the first ethnographic study of the lives of professional hockey players. Robidoux completely explodes the myth of hockey players as spoiled and overpaid, and shows the enormous stress the players face, notably those players who are between the minors and the NHL.
