The traditional release period for hockey books is October 1st to December 15th, or thereabouts. This makes perfect marketing sense, coinciding with the beginning of the NHL and local hockey seasons, and capitalizing on the Christmas shopping periods.
But hockey books are released after Christmas too, and January 2009 looks to be a busy time. Here's a look at what is coming out next:
Tough Guys: Hockey's 50 All-Time Toughest Players, as selected by NHL Players and Alumni by Jim Kyte with Dave Best. Fitzhenry and Whiteside. Release Date: January 19th, 2009.

The Greatest Hockey Records by Matt Doeden. Edge Books. Release Date: January, 2009.
Collins Gem Hockey 2008-09 by Andrew Podnieks. Collins. Release Date: February 2009.
There are some new instructional books:
