Hockey Books on Kobo

From The Globe and Mail:

With online bookselling giant Amazon.com having halted sales of its Kindle e-reader in Canada and dismissive messages awaiting Canadians who attempt to shop at Google’s new online bookstore, it might seem that the Great White North is frozen out of the hottest trend of the shopping season.

And many fans have, since, believe it or not, Slap Shot is the second most rented movie ever. Slap Shot looked at the rough and tumble world of minor league hockey in unforgettable fashion, often using an explosive cocktail of glorified violence and crazy humour. The adventures and hijinks of the Charlestown Chiefs has spun off two sequels, Breaking the Ice in 2002, and Slap Shot 3: The Junior League , just released directly to DVD. The original Slap Shot starred none other than the late Paul Newman as the foul-mouthed coach, but the stars of the show became The Hanson Brothers.
