Book Review: Pucks On The ‘Net

If you’re a Penguins fan with an insatiable appetite for hockey, I’ve got a book for you. Renowned hockey history blogger Joe Pelletier shares his favorite stories from the world of hockey in his brand new e-book, “Pucks On The ‘Net.”

Hot off the e-press, “Pucks On The ‘Net” features a collection of weird, wacky, and inspiring stories from the National Hockey League and the world of International Hockey. Joe gets up close and personal, too, detailing his 1972 Summit Series confessions; recalling his encounter with legendary author Jack Falla; and sharing an account of his own hockey injury—losing his front teeth (ouch).

The author of two internationally published hockey books, “The World Cup of Hockey” and “Legends of Team Canada,” Joe has contributed articles to mainstream publications such as “The Hockey News,” “Hockey Digest,” “Sports Illustrated,” “Canadian Hockey Magazine,” and “Total Hockey.” He has worked on various projects for Hockey Canada, USA Hockey, the Buffalo Sabres, TSN.ca, CBC, CTV NewsNet and the National Post.

In addition, Joe created and operates three highly acclaimed websites: Greatest Hockey Legends.com, 1972 Summit Series.com, and Hockey Book Reviews.com.

“Pucks On The ‘Net” features a foreword by Kirstie McLellan Day—Canada’s best-selling author for the past five years—and is available in e-book format for the super-low price of $3.99 through sites such as Amazonkindle, Nook, Smashwords, Apple/iTunes, and Kobo. It’s a must read for any true hockey fan!
