It made me smile, chuckle, and smile some more

I really enjoyed the stories. It just makes these professional athletes that we look up to seem more human just like us regular folks.

EPIC LISTEN!!

Don't have to be a hockey player to laugh your ass off to these stories

WOW!!

What a book!!! Absolutely loved it!! Couldn’t stop reading/listening to it!! The voice was perfect!! Loved the voice he used for the coaches, players, and other people! It felt like I was there in a Time Machine witnessing everything in person!! What an incredible piece on the Gaudreau brothers. Ray Whitney cabbage rolls story was a masterpiece!!

Doesn't disappoint!!

So many great stories....some funny...some heartwarming! If you like hockey you need to listen to this!

Certified Waste of Time

They aren't inside stories. They aren't funny. They aren't very interesting. I'm not sure what they are, but combined, they make a below average listen.
