Le service des urgences de l’Hôpital général de Montréal (HGM) se trouvait si près du Forum que les joueurs du Club de hockey Canadien pouvaient enfiler leurs protège-lames et s’y rendre à pied. Cette proximité, qui n’était pas une coïncidence, est devenue au fil des ans une priorité pour le CH. À titre de médecin de l’équipe, le Dr Douglas Kinnear a assisté de l’intérieur à la conquête de douze Coupes Stanley. Pour sa part, le Dr David Mulder a fait partie pendant plus d’un demi-siècle de l’équipe médicale du Canadien qui a remporté huit Coupes Stanley au cours de son mandat. Dans l’ouvrage Hockey Doc, Cinquante ans d’anecdotes médicales avec le Club de hockey Canadien, ces deux médecins légendaires explorent la relation dynamique entre un médecin et les joueurs qu’ils ont si bien connus. Hockey Doc traite de l’évolution du programme médical du Club de hockey Canadien et de la façon dont il a été forgé par sa relation de longue date avec l’Hôpital général de Montréal et la famille Molson. Les auteurs décrivent les différents types de blessures que des joueurs de hockey sont susceptibles de subir et que leurs équipes médicales doivent savoir traiter, et racontent les hauts faits de leur carrière. L’ouvrage comporte des anecdotes savoureuses sur Saku Koivu, Trent McCleary, Patrick Roy, Maurice Richard, Gump Worsley, Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Lou Lamoriello et le journaliste Red Fisher, entre autres. Hockey Doc permet au lecteur de partager le quotidien, et les situations souvent humoristiques, des joueurs et de leur médecin, tout en abordant le thème plus large de l’évolution de la médecine sportive telle que vécue par deux médecins de l’HGM. Les amateurs de hockey de tous âges et la communauté médicale québécoise liront avec plaisir Hockey Doc qui lève le voile sur les relations entre les athlètes professionnels blessés et le personnel médical d’un hôpital universitaire, ainsi que sur les blessures et maladies que les Drs Kinnear et Mulder ont traitées au cours de leur longue carrière.
The Western Division of the Montreal General Hospital was so close to the Forum that Montréal Canadiens players could put on skate guards and walk to the hospital’s emergency room. This was not a coincidence and established proximity as a priority. Dr. Douglas Kinnear supported twelve Stanley Cup winning Montréal Canadiens squads as team physician. Dr. David Mulder has been on the medical staff for over fifty years and for eight Stanley Cups. In Hockey Doc, these two legendary team physicians explore the dynamic doctor player relationship they came to know so well with a look at more than fifty years of medical care provided to the hockey club. Hockey Doc examines how the medical program for the Montréal Canadiens has evolved over its history due to its long-standing relationship with the MGH and the Molson family. The doctors breakdown major injuries with real-life examples that every team physician needs to be aware of and share career highlights. Featuring stories about Saku Koivu, Trent McCleary, Patrick Roy, Maurice Richard, Gump Worsley, Bobby Orr, Lou Lamoriello, and journalist Red Fisher – among countless others – Hockey Doc shares the inside jokes between doctor and player while providing a greater commentary on the evolution of sports medicine throughout two MGH doctors’ careers. For hockey fans of all ages and the Québec medical community, Hockey Doc shares the relationship between the injured professional athlete and the medical staff of a university medical centre and provides an inside look at the injuries and illnesses these doctors have faced over their storied careers.
This is another book about hockey. But this one is unique. It contains many stories by and about individuals who broadcast play-by-plays of major junior and provincial junior A games from arenas across Canada. There are even a few chapters about broadcasters from teams in the United States that play in Canadian leagues. There are major junior chapters from the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Chapters from provincial junior A leagues include British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and the Maritimes. Some of the contributors for this book wrote their own chapters. Others preferred to be interviewed. In all cases, the final version of each chapter was approved by the contributor. The chapters include many descriptions of broadcasters experiences. They describe their early experiences with hockey. Some played, while others listened on the radio, watched on TV, or attended games. The stories include how they became involved as play-by-play broadcasters and who were direct or indirect mentors. Each broadcaster recounts their memories of the first game they called. They also describe some of the notable players, coaches, and color commentators. Where possible, there are even some bus stories. Each chapter concludes with a comment about what the experience of broadcasting play-by-play has meant to each individual.
Reflecting on nearly five decades with the Detroit Red Wings, Dr. John Finley takes sports fans far beyond closed doors and into the trainer's room where cuts were bandaged, broken noses were reset, sore muscles were rubbed out, and casts made for broken bones. In this stellar memoir, Dr. Finley recounts his experiences with the stars on the revitalized Red Wings franchise in recent years, including Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom, as well as heroes of previous generations, including 1972 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Gordie Howe. Along the way, Dr. Finley shares some of the most vivid accounts ever written on the subject of sports injuries, including the hundreds of stitches he applied to Borje Salming's face after it was cut by Gerard Gallant's errant skate blade, as well as his recommendation on the knee injury sustained by a young Steve Yzerman that ultimately helped maintain his Hall of Fame career.

This book was written for both hockey player and coach. Hockey has been a passion of mine since early childhood. I was born and raised in Canada and relocated to the United States in 1990. Hockey has been the fabric of our family tree. From youth hockey to having the opportunity to play at the minor professional level, I have enjoyed this great game and the life lessons it has instilled along the way. It was during my career in university where coaching became a passion. I loved the weight room, the preparation, and the process. It was, and still is, a place of solace for me—a classroom. My love for strength and conditioning was born in the sweaty confines of the Miami (OH) strength and conditioning facility located in Oxford, Ohio, and run by then strength and conditioning coach Dan Dalrymple. Coach D instilled pride, work ethic, and belief in his athletes. Our two-thousand-square foot weight room was a place of preparation, competition, and embodied the team-first spirit. At that instant, I knew my calling was to serve as a coach. I owe much gratitude and appreciation to Coach D. He was a mentor to me! Thanks, Coach, your imprint has left an indelible mark.
Ice hockey has featured in North American films since the early days. Hockey's sizable cinematic repertoire explores different views of the sport, including the role of aggression, the business of sports, race and gender, and the role of women in the game. This critical study focuses on hockey themes in more than 50 films and television movies from the U.S. and Canada spanning several decades. Depictions of historical games are discussed, including the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" and the 1972 Summit Series. National myths that inform ideas of the hockey player are examined. Production techniques that enhance hockey as on-screen spectacle are covered.
Hard-hitting, nonstop action (and that's just what happens off the ice). Hockey is the fastest of all team sports?an emotional, exhilarating, and highly entertaining blend of speed, finesse, intensity, and bone-crunching physical impact. And the NHL's Nashville Predators are, in every respect, a team to watch. But the story leading up to, and through, the Predators' triumphant first season is every bit as exciting as the game itself. Hockey Tonk tells of one man's dream of bringing a pro team to a city best known for its music industry. The journey from that dream to its fulfillment in an arena filled with 17,000 screaming fans is a story of vision, passion, hard work, perseverance, and commitment to long-term success. It's a story of teamwork and hard-nosed competition, both on and off the ice. Just a few short years ago, the majority of Nashville, Tennessee, didn't know the difference between a blue line and a line dance. But now Music City has become a pro sports town, thanks to a fiercely competitive hockey team, its business-and community-minded front office, and fan support that, according to USA Today, is second to none.
Gold, Bronze, & Silver: A Doctor's Devotion to American Hockey offers an inside view of the hockey players and teams that rep¬resented the United States in international competition from 1967 to 1990 as they traveled around the globe and behind the Iron Curtain. George “Doc” Nagobads served as team physician, multilingual problem solver, travel guide, and surrogate father to the young men traveling the world in pursuit of glory and gold. Fluent in four languages, Doc was the perfect person to handle challenges with passports, border crossings, KGB agents, and the youth¬ful exuberance of young men looking to have a good time in sometimes-unfriendly environments. Doc's journal and camera were always with him as he traveled with over thirty teams, including the gold medal-winning 1980 US Olympic hockey team. This book includes the story of Doc's stopwatch, a key ingredient to beating the mighty Soviet team and performing a miracle on ice. Over one hundred and thirty photos complement the tales of camara¬derie, friendship, injuries, pranks, and misadventures.
