Christmas in June

Congrats to FoF. Christmas is over but maybe people are buying it as NHL Entry Draft presents.

Unlike 99.9% of most hockey books, you can read Mr. Friend's latest tome without caring or knowing anything about the sport.

 

Indeed, congrats to Mr. Friend O'. His new book would appeal to people who are into sports as scouting is the same business whether it's hockey, baseball or football.

 

Mr R,

It's funny but a lot of the kids going to the draft this year or anytime soon have been reading it. Hodgson, Duchene and Hall among others talked to me about it when I've interviewed them this year. (Hall wanted to know exactly what Crosby was paid by Rimouski, probably to see if he was being shorted by Warren Rychel. But I digress.)

YD&OHS, etc

 

Hell, I'd love to know what Crosby was paid in Rimouski. If Rychel gave Hall his empties to return he'd probably come away with a good buck.

On one junior team bus trip that I'm familiar with - four people (two players, two staffers) - were reading Mr. Friend O's tome at the same time.

 

The Troops could start a FoF Book Club.

 

Yes, I was one of the staffers....

 

Sir,

That's an amazing story -- not that they were reading my books ... that they were reading any books!
