Figured I’d start a thread with hockey related books that I’ve read. I’ll be adding to this list periodically. Anything from tactics to history stuff.
Pinning this to my profile for those that care.

Olympic Break Mic Check 1-2
With everyone, save Teuvo, taking a breath, it's as good of a time as any to see where the Hawks are.
57 games isn't really a benchmark. It's 70 percent of the season. But when the league and Olympic...
