The Hockey Gods are Real: The Religion of Ice Hockey


Overview

In The Hockey Gods Are Real, author Jonathan Fink explores the sacred side of ice hockey - not through stats or strategy, but through a spiritual lens. This isn't a book about goals and assists. It's about miracles and martyrdom. Rituals and redemption. Curses and karma. Drawing on the success of his Baseball Gods series, Fink brings his signature blend of storytelling, spirituality, and real world encounters to the rink. He dives deep into the traditions that define the game: the rituals, the hymns, the language, the hockey fights. He honors the players and fans who make hockey more than sport - those who believe in something bigger than themselves when they lace up, drop the puck, or stand for the anthem. Part theology, part memoir, this book reveals a hidden religion lived out on skates. You'll meet prophets and penance, freak injuries and fairies, ghosts and miracles, saints and sinners. Whether you're a lifelong player, a rinkside parent, or someone who's ever felt goosebumps during overtime - this book is for you. Because if you've ever whispered a prayer before a shootout... If you've ever believed in fate after a lucky bounce... If you've ever felt something unexplainable after the horn sounds... Then maybe you already know that the Hockey Gods are real.
