As an idea, I think you should do a list of top NHL history books. Basically a list of the best books to read for someone learning about NHL history (many doing so now due to the lockout). Many of them are also in their teens or 20s so they don't know much about NHL history before the 90s or mid-90s.

McFarlane books like Stanley Cup Fever, Eric Zweig's done some similar ones I think, general stuff like Best of Hockey History special edition by THN, etc.

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. The lovable, entertaining, violent, and bespectacled Hansons were loosely based on three actual hockey playing brothers - Steve, Jeff and Jack Carlson.
