A Globe and Email Best Book

Through the bestselling author and Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, this is the story of NHLer Steve Montador-who was identified as having CTE after his death in 2015-the remarkable evolution of hockey itself, and a separate prescriptive to counter its greatest risk in the foreseeable future: head injuries.

Ken Dryden’s THE OVERALL GAME is known as the best book about hockey, and one of the better books about sports ever written. Then came Home Video game (with Roy MacGregor), also a significant TV-series, where he explored hockey’s significance and what this means to Canada and Canadians. Now, in his most powerful and important publication yet, Game Transformation, Ken Dryden tells the riveting story of 1 player’s lifestyle, examines the intersection between technology and sport, and expertly documents the development of the game of hockey-where it began, how it got to where it really is, where it can go from here and, just like exciting to play and watch, how it can get there.
