A Great Trivia Book for the Hockey Fan in All of Us

If you love hockey, if you love hockey trivia and hockey conversation, you will love what Kevin Gibson has put together for you. It's a new book -- called Three Players Who Have Never Been in My Kitchen and Other Little-Known Hockey Facts -- and it's a virtual treasure trove of hockey stuff, a bit like the Trivial Pursuit board game with a total hockey theme.

(PRWEB) May 19, 2007 -- If you love hockey, if you love hockey trivia and hockey conversation, you will love what Kevin Gibson has put together for you. It's a new book -- called Three Players Who Have Never Been in My Kitchen and Other Little-Known Hockey Facts -- and it's a virtual treasure trove of hockey stuff, a bit like the Trivial Pursuit board game with a total hockey theme.

Trivia? This book has enough of it to intrigue the most rabid hockey addict: the two National Hockey League players with a Brazilian background; the NHL's California connection; the 1948 disappearance -- and presumed death -- of a Czech hockey team; the 24 children fathered by goaltender Georges Vezina; the Hanson brothers who were made famous -- and infamous -- by the Paul Newman hockey movie Slap Shot, the 1951 death of Stanley Cup hero Bill Barilko. And that's just the start of it.

All of this wonderful hockey material is contained within a compact, 109-page book that you simply cannot put down. Gibson's writing style is funny, breezy and sharp -- he appears to know exactly what his readers would want in a hockey trivia book and he knows how to deliver the goods.

That's no surprise, given Gibson's background. He currently works at Canada's TV sports network TSN and covers the Toronto Maple Leafs home games for the Hockey News publication. He also does a daily hockey report for a Toronto-based radio station.
Three Players is Gibson's third hockey-related book. It's a must-read for the hockey-trivia fan -- and would make a great gift for that hockey nut on your list.

Author Gibson lives in Whitby, Ontario with his wife, two kids, a dog and a pet fish. The fish -- it's got red colouring -- is called Boston Red Sox. The hockey-loving Gibson family missed a good bet there -- that fish clearly should be called the Detroit Red Wings.
