Book Reviews of Brodeur: Beyond the Crease
Book Review: An insight to Hockey and being an Athlete
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the NHL. And I love Ice Hockey, in particular, Goaltenders. However, living in the Uk, my access to it is pretty limited. So I bought this book hoping for an insight to the NHL and professional goaltending and got both those things and so much more.
The book, like many auto-biographies, mixes past emotional expereinces with professional ones, but while some auto biographies can become self indulgent and overly defensive, Brodeurs is an honest and direct insight into his life and the world of hockey.
While the book describes his beginnings as an NHL goalie and discusses some of the finer details of the position (such as how the rule changes affected goalies in general) he never loses sight of the fact that one of the thigns that make biographies intersting is that you get opinions of people with direct close experience of key issues.
Brodeur is in no way shy of expressing his opinions on things such as Bertruzzi's infamous hit and the team selection at the Devils. If you enjoy an entertaining but well written insight into professional sports then this book is probably for you, regardless of whether or not you know anythign about ice hockey. If you love ice Hockey then it comes doubly reccomended. Of particular interest is the section where Brodeur discusses his wages and the restructuring of the pay in the NHL. The professional footballers here could learn a thing or two about integrity in those paragraphs alone.
