Description

Description

A collection of essays and photographs celebrating the grit and dedication of hockey players who regularly withstand injury and hardship to play the sport they love. Through in-depth player interviews and inside-the-locker-room reportage, Hockey Strong gives readers a behind-the-pads look at the playing in pain ethos that has been woven into the fabric of the game. The book explores what separates a hockey player's toughness from other athletes' - it is a way of life. The stories featured include accounts from players who have faced numerous injuries and hardships, including smashed faces, crushed orbital bones, and collapsed lungs. These are the tales of those who refuse to go out because they owe it all to their brothers in uniform.
