Random Hockey Book of the Week, Week 7: Defining Moments
Week 7: Defining Moments: 100 Inspirational Moments about 100 Great Players. With all the craziness going on in my life away from this blog, things are a little behind.
A Late Post and a Good Reason
In related news, Mrs. Fulery has now graduated nursing school, so if you know anyone in need of an amazing RN, let me know.
Back to business. Friday's normal feature is showing up today, Sunday.
A Book That Nullifies the Lateness
Since I am late with the post, I decided to go with a book that nullifies my lateness, a book that has not been released yet. 100 Defining Moments promises to be quite the book, so preorder today.
One Moment Per Player
100 Defining Moments is a book that celebrates the great game of hockey. 100 players are profiled highlighting a great career moment that defined, started or just plain rejuvenated a career. You will also get the story behind each amazing player.
Hall of Famers and Current Stars
Packed full of Hall of Famers and other great stars of the past, plus profiles of current players making this book completely up to date.
Sacrifice, Dedication and Triumph
100 Defining Moments will lift the spirits of all those who play or follow the game with anecdotes of sacrifice, dedication, leadership, perseverance and ultimately triumph. Most of all, it pays tribute to achievement and an appreciation for the superb character shown by those who play the world's fastest game.
