Description

To some hockey players, the number on their sweater is especially significant. It is as essential to the spirit of the player as is his childhood, his upbringing, or the skill that got him to the NHL.
The Little Book of Hockey Sweaters Vol. 2 offers the inside story from professional hockey players, both past and present, on the numbers they selected to wear on their backs. Compiled by bestselling author and sports journalist Andrew Podnieks, with illustrations by The Globe and Mail's Anthony Jenkins, The Little Book of Hockey Sweaters Vol. 2 is a follow-up to the hugely popular original, which covered such hockey greats as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. In this second volume, also a must-have for hockey fans and trivia buffs, they dig deeper, and find more stories about well-known players?from Bobby Hull to Darcy Tucker?for whom the jersey number represents a key part of their identity.
