Editorial Reviews

The coolest book on the best scorers in hockey history! This high-scoring title features 43 Hall of Famers and 14 of today's greatest players -- and all of them can put the puck in the net! These super scorers come alive through action photography, illustrations, Hockey Hall of Fame artifacts and great information on the best goal scorers in the game.

The Canadian Children's Book Centre's Best Books for Kids and Teens 2015

Designed for hockey enthusiasts... A compilation of the best hockey players... Very flashy and brightly-colored graphic design shows the player's names inside a pulsating star with text boxes resembling collectible cards containing a brief description of their teams and accomplishments.

Puget Sound Council for the Review of Children's and Young Adult Literature

The Hockey Hall of Fame Kids Series by Eric Zweig has three new titles. Each of Dominant Defensemen, Great Goalies and Super Scorers features a combination of today's best players along with Hall of Famers. Each of these formidable players come alive through terrific action photographs, fun illustrations, authentic Hockey Hall of Fame artifacts and great information on the best players in the history of the game.

Calgary Sun

For the inquisitive little pucksters in your family, Santa suggests Eric Zweig's recently released Hockey Hall of Fame series: Dominant Defensemen, Super Scorers, and Great Goalies... to score a natural hat trick. Zweig is a master of hockey history ferreting out tasty tidbits for the hockey hungry. And his winger's work adds "wow power" to the "lively text." The small fry in grades 3 to 6 will love the illustrations, the old-fashioned hockey cards, and photos featuring archival material from the Hockey Hall of Fame. Clever titles -- Blasts from the Past, Modern Matches, Powerful Pairs, Parallel Pucksters -- are peppered throughout the texts making the three volumes an attractive and fun read.

Hamilton Spectator

Highly recommended.
