Darren Eliot of Sports Illustrated, on the new book Hockey Stories & Stuff by Don Cherry and Al Strachan:
The pair did make a conscious effort to clean up any profanity so the read would be kid-appropriate, but that doesn’t mean this book is for everyone. English professors might want to avoid it. Same thing for anyone who is offended by violence in sports, or those of you out there who have a dim view of drinking and carousing as a way of life. But for the rest of us, this book is pure joy—a little piece of guilty hockey pleasure.
In that sense, it represents Don Cherry extremely well. He’s not for everyone, but he is hard to ignore.
Here’s the review and the book is available at Amazon.com (*affiliate link)
