I have been reading Chicken Soup for the Soul books and the latest one was Hooked on Hockey.
101 Stories about the Players Who Love the Game and the Families that Cheer Them On
Hockey fans and hockey families will love the 101 exciting and inspiring stories in this collection about playing, living, and loving hockey! This collection of stories from everyday hockey players and fans, as well as revealing personal stories from NHLers and hockey insiders will delight anyone who enjoys hockey, whether it’s in the backyard, in school, or at the professional level
Our family is a hockey family. We love the sport and even our Little One who is now 6 loves to play. She has been on skates since she was 3 years old. I love taking her to the rink for her games and cheering everyone on.
I was excited to see the Chicken Soup for the Soul: Hooked on Hockey because I knew I would love all 101 stories and could probably relate to so many of them. From backyard rinks like I had as a kid, to the big games; I loved them all.
As if there is not enough love for hockey, but it certainly grows when the Winter Olympics is on. Yep we watched our Canadian Women and Men win their games and the gold medals. There I was taking my Little One to the rink, then watching the Olympics and when I had quite time, reading Hooked on Hockey. I loved it. What is the saying….”Eat, Sleep, Rink, Repeat!” 🙂
I always get a little sad when hockey season ends. It is such a great sport and positive experience every year for my little girl. I have to admit that I have Hooked on Hockey tucked close to my bedside for a re-read on those nights when I am having hockey withdrawal. The Hooked on Hockey stories bring familiar memories, sentiments and emotion to your quiet time reading.

Watching United States overcome the odds and beat Russia for Olympic Gold was the greatest hockey memory.
My brother played hockey for a few years. He was on four times at once including the city, school, and traveling team. Unfortunately, he tore his hamstring during a tournament in Ft. Myers. I would love to win this book to give him as a birthday gift.
Last year, I was fortunate enough to win Florida Panther tickets.
My son and grandson enjoy watching The Blue Jackets together.
My husband loves hockey. This would be a great Father’s Day gift. Go Blues!!!
Watching Canada win Gold medal at the Olympics in Vancouver!
My kids love hockey, the would love to read this book.
My grandson started skating this year as he wants to be a famous hockey player when he is older.
A great hockey moment for me was watching the Olympics that just passed with my children and seeing Canada win the gold!
1989 When the Flames won the cup :). The 2004 run was pretty exciting too.
my son’s hockey team won a tournament that had not been won by anyone but the home team in ten years
Last Sunday I had the awesome chance to take two of my sons and my father to the Heritage Classic Hockey game at BC Place. It was a wonderful day filled with great memories. My sons LOVE hockey, it’s really all they talk about! To bad the Canucks lost though!
I favorite hockey memory is being a little one and watching Canada beat the Russians in the 72 series.
In 2006, I was up in the nosebleed stands for Game Two of the playoff series between the San Jose Sharks and the Edmonton Oilers. During a 5-on-3 penalty kill, Scott Hannan and Mark Smith’s sticks broke, leaving only Kyle McLaren with an intact stick to defend with. Since they were unable to get a stoppage in play, they were out there for essentially the full two minutes. Nevertheless, they did a valiant job and were able to kill the penalty–when Hannan finally batted the puck away with his glove as the seconds expired, the screams in the Shark Tank reached record volume. I’m still so proud that I saw it in person (though at the time, I was so nervous that I felt physically ill)…
My 5 year old daughter is a huge fan of our local hockey team here in town and all of the guys on the team know her really well. This past weekend they had a post game skate with the players after the game and her favorite player who is a goalie for the team came up to get her and skated with her all around the ice. We have pictures and she was so happy. We have a lot of great hockey moments for sure! Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway..I would love to read this book!
