I read the book Hockey’s 25 most wanted. This book is an interesting book because most of it is a biography about different NHL players. The 25 most wanted is referring to the 25 best players. They have 3 categories in this book where players are ranked 1-25 based on their ability in that category. The 3 categories are goals, points, and “tough guy”. The book gives information about every players’ NHL career, but for the top 5 in each category they go into detail of the players early years playing hockey. I was not expecting to find the tough guy section as interesting as I did. The category is based on hitting and fighting ability. It was interesting because a lot of the “tough guys” did not play that way when they were young. 4 of the 5 that I was able to go into detail about did not play as rough as they do now. Most of them commented on how their size as decided their role on the team as a hitter or fighter. Most of the tough guys on teams are very big guys. Zedeno Chara is a defenseman for the Boston Bruins. He is 6’9”, with his size if he runs into someone because of is height weight and speed he will knock his opponent over. If a coach or team owner notices a talent like that the encourage the player to stick with it. People don’t realize how important the tough guys are, they build momentum for their team and are a crucial intimidation factor. I encourage anyone who enjoys hockey half as much as I do to read this book.
