A veteran hockey writer tackles the controversial issue of violence in hockey culture and the NHL. With on-ice fistfights and brutal hits becoming nightly news, the sport resembles a spectacle of gladiatorial combat. While the NHL may view on-ice violence as a draw for fans, expert Adam Proteau argues against this transformation into a thuggish blood sport. In his work, Proteau explores various perspectives through interviews with current and former NHL players, coaches, general managers, league executives, and medical experts. Known for his witty and passionate commentary in outlets like the Toronto Star and The Hockey News, Proteau stands out as a mainstream voice opposing fighting in hockey. His book serves as a plea to the sport's gatekeepers to address the rampant violence at all levels and offers realistic solutions for reform. It includes insights from medical experts on head injuries and concussions, as well as commentary from fellow media members. By confronting the most polarizing issue in hockey today, Proteau provides fans and sports enthusiasts with a compelling argument for change, marked by eloquence and common sense.
