Books like The third best Hull by Dennis Hull

Former Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden offers a masterful memoir that blends personal insight, vivid portraits of 1970s NHL legends, and a deep reflection on the sport that has earned it a place among the greatest hockey books.

Former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan shares memories of his 17‑year pro career, including 11 seasons with the New York Islanders, St. Louis Blues, Minnesota Wild, Florida Panthers, and Calgary Flames.

This narrative about two boys from different backgrounds touches on family, forgiveness, sport, and making peace with tragedy. Dan Snyder was not a sure thing in professional hockey, but defied expectations—playing for both the minor league's Chicago Wolves and the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers. Dany Heatley, on the other hand, had been tapped for success from the start as a college star and high draft pick. The two made an unlikely pair, but became friends. In September of 2003, the then 22-year-old Heatley lost control of his speeding Ferrari; Snyder was thrown from the vehicle and died six days later. The loss of their teammate, friend, and son sent those who knew Snyder looking for healing or revenge. As the legal story unfolds, so too does a story of forgiveness, rooted in the Canadian Mennonite tradition from which Snyder hailed. Snyder's family, taking an approach to their loss dictated by their faith, chose to make peace with both Heatley and his parents. This story of forgiveness reveals a lesson in loss, hope, and peace in the face of tragedy.

A coming‑of‑age memoir set in Brooklyn that follows a boy’s youth in the shadow of Ebbets Field, his work as a sportswriter for the Herald Tribune during the Jackie Robinson era, and the eventual paths of the people he knew.
