I''ve always had an appreciation for the history of hockey, especially anything to do with goalies and goaltending. Now someone has finally come out with a book about goalie masks and how they came to look like the one I wear in the NHL today. From the kids who love the colorful mask art of today to those who remember when goalies played without masks, generations of hockey fans will enjoy Saving Face." - Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils goaltender

"This book is a great idea. It will benefit goalies to look back to the days before the mask and to understand the reasons for it. And it''s worthwhile for kids to see the old masks and see the changes that have been made, and to see how the masks were a part of the Canadian game. It''s a very enjoyable real" - Ed Giacomin, Hockey Hall of Fame goalie

"The past 50 years have seen the goalie mask evolve from being an object of scorn to being the most individualized and most protective piece of equipment in a goalie''s armor. This book does an excellent job of telling that story, in words and visually through great photography!" - Dave Dryden, former NHL goaltender, and pioneering mask designer

"Goalie masks have been an intriguing part of hockey for the past half century. This unique book is full of colorful and informative stories and photographs about the mask, its history and the men who have worn them, past and present." - Dick Irvin, Hockey Night in Canada

Every day in hockey is great; only one day is the greatest.

If you're a hockey player or fan, you know the significance of winning the Stanley Cup or an Olympic gold medal. You know that almost every kid dreams of one day playing for his or her country, or of being drafted by an NHL team. That all-important first big game and first goal are magical and compelling milestones. The NHL dream, the national team dream, the dream of game-seven drama or gold-medal glory define the game and represent the climactic moments of years of dedication.

But the dreams we imagine are not necessarily the same as those of the men and women we revere. Veteran journalist and hockey analyst Scott Morrison has interviewed 50 great hockey people-players and coaches. Managers, and even a decorated general in Canada's military-and discovered that what a player considers his or her greatest single day in hockey is often not at all what we think that greatest day would be.

Gretzky surpassing Howe? Hasek winning Olympic gold? Crosby winning the Hart and Art Ross Trophies? Readers are in for a big surprise!

The engaging and honest stories in Hockey Night in Canada: My Greatest Day reveal a deeply personal love for the game that will entertain us, move us, and often surprise up. Familiar names? Yes. Common themes? Yes. Expected answers? No.

Featuring full-colour photographs and informative sidebars, Hockey Night in Canada: My Greatest Day is a wonderful trip down memory lane-a must-read for hockey fans everywhere.

Street fighting. Brazilian jujitsu. Grappling.
Welcome to BJ Penn's island.
Don't worry, he won't hurt you (much).

For the last decade, BJ Penn has been one of the most successful and feared fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), rising through the ranks to become, pound for pound, one of the best in the world. Along the way, people have been quick to judge, praise, criticize, and hype him. They have torn him down only to build him back up. They have spilled ink and blood trying to understand what makes him the provocative and controversial fighter that he is.

Why I Fight is the answer that everyone-critics, fans, commentators, pundits, and perhaps even Dana White, current president of the UFC-has been waiting for. In his own words, Penn tells the story of his life spent fighting, explaining what led a scrappy teenager from the rough streets of Hilo, Hawaii, onto the biggest stage in all of mixed martial arts (MMA). From his earliest days, becoming one of the preeminent practitioners of Brazilian jujitsu in the world, to his first MMA fights and his battles with UFC champions like Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre, Penn shows that in life, just like in the Octagon, he is never one to back down from a fight.

A blunt and brutal look at his hardest-fought victories and his most frustrating defeats, Why I Fight is the story of how BJ Penn became one of only two fighters in UFC history to hold belts in two different weight classes. It is the story of a kid from Hawaii who loved to fight. It is the story of a true prodigy.
