Safety Stars: Players who fought to make the hard-hitting game

Safety Stars: Players who fought to make the hard-hitting game of professional hockey safer (Lorimer Recordbooks)

Professional hockey is a fast game, and a dangerous one. Skates slice like razors; a hard-shot puck can take out an eye; and the ice surface is as hard as rock, especially when skulls are slammed against it. Innovations in equipment make the game faster and more excitingâ€”and have to be countered by measures that keep it safe for players.
Â Â Â From hockey heroes like Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby to an avid eleven-year-old on a mission, players have fought hard for a safer game. This book tells the story of hockeyâ€™s safety stars as they successfully campaigned for safety measures despite opposition from league managers, sports writers, fans and sometimes other players too.
