This is a book after my heart: hockey and literature waltzing together to the music of the author's careful, artful prose. Funny, wistful, smart and unlike any hockey book I've read (although I clearly haven't read as many as Mr. Smith). &#8212Dave Bidini, author of Tropic of Hockey

Funny, wistful, smart and unlike any hockey book I've read (although I clearly haven't read as many as Mr. Smith). --Dave Bidini, author of Tropic of Hockey Puckstruck is like nothing I've read before--fresh, funny, dazzling and brilliant. Can a hockey book ever really be described as Joycean? This one can. --Charles Foran
