Summary: Behind Closed Doors
Comment: As I was reading this book a lot of hit to close to home. Being a teenage girl and a fan of a junior hockey team I've witnessed things that were mentioned in this book. Laura Robinson did an amazingly insightful job to inform the readers of the "taboo" subjects of hockey. I would definately reccomend this book to anyone who's looking for the truth of what goes on behind closed doors.

Summary: The Sad Truth
Comment: The game of Hockey has been glorified for years now and the goal of the players was to make it to the SHOW (NHL). Laura takes an indepth look into the darker side of this glorified sport. There were times during this book I could not help myself from crying and other times were I was infuriated with anger. Being a OHL hockey fan and female it has broughten into light how some not all of these young men have been both the abused and abusers. It shows how the shinning lights and the dream of the NHL can have deep and tramatic effects on these young men for the rest of there lives. I feel she is not trying to bash the entire hockey system, but has brought focus on a topic that if left alone could result in an explosion. An Explosion we are not capable in handling!

Summary: Amazing book!
Comment: I will NEVER respect another professional or amature hockey player again. This book made me step back and really look at players and how they treat woman. It wouldn't shock me if all professional/amature hockey players that were married or had 'girlfriends' had girl on the side. Having a woman write the book was interesting. She really opened my eyes to what happens in hockey. There's nothing I wanted more than a boyfriend that played hockey, now, I think I'll just go with the hockey fan.... If your a hockey fan, especially if your a girl, or a puckbunny, read this book.
