The Good of the Game
"Former NHL referee Bruce Hood knows hockey. As a child, he'd sit in class and dream about meeting his friends after school to play on the local pond. As a referee, he skated with the most skilled players the NHL has ever seen--Gordie Howe, Bobbie Orr, Wayne Gretzky--and got between some of hockey's most notorious goons. In recent years, he has been a driving force in revolutionizing hockey, in reigniting our passion for the game.
The top names in hockey met in August 1999 to discuss the future of hockey at the Open Ice Hockey Summit, but once again the most important issues -- fighting and violence -- were not addressed. Hood tackles these issues, and goes further in suggesting just how we can recapture hockey's greatness."
