Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer. Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.

Parce que le sport ne se conjugue pas qu'au masculin : la preuve en 50 magnifiques exemples Au-delà de leurs prouesses sportives incontestables et de leurs palmarès hallucinants, ces 50 femmes athlètes, championnes, ont toutes des parcours de vie exceptionnels. Qu'il s'agisse de leur histoire personnelle ou de leurs engagements, ils impressionnent et prouvent que l'histoire du sport ne s'écrit pas qu'au masculin. Ces 50 championnes apportent une nouvelle visibilité au sport féminin et, au-delà des stades, elles influencent les mentalités. Grâce à elles, le sexisme se fait plus sourd, les stéréotypes et les clichés sur les femmes diminuent. Elles sont françaises, américaines, norvégiennes, russes, célébrissimes ou un peu moins connues. Elles pratiquent l'athlétisme, le football, la boxe, le cyclisme, le tennis ou le judo. Elles sont valides ou handicapées. Cet ouvrage rend hommage à ces légendes, ces femmes en or et ces championnes d'exception. À leurs performances autant qu'à leurs combats audacieux.

In "Scouting for Boys," Robert Baden-Powell employs a pioneering narrative style that intertwines practical instruction with adventurous storytelling, pioneering the youth movement known as scouting. The book serves as both a field manual and an inspirational guide, advocating for outdoor skills, self-reliance, and moral development among young boys. Illustrated with tales of camaraderie and resilience, it reflects the early 20th-century ethos of fostering individual character through nature and shared experiences, rooted in the ideals of Victorian masculinity and patriotic duty. Baden-Powell, a decorated British Army officer, drew on his extensive military experiences and a passion for the outdoors to pen this seminal work. His background in scouting during the Second Boer War, where he utilized training methods to unite troops and local communities, profoundly influenced his vision for youth development. The establishment of the Boy Scouts movement that followed the book's publication highlights his commitment to instilling leadership and adventure in boys across the globe. "Scouting for Boys" is an essential read for educators, parents, and anyone intrigued by youth culture and outdoor education. Its principles remain relevant today, resonating with modern ideals of teamwork, resilience, and exploration. This rich text invites readers to rediscover the timeless values of service and self-discovery, echoing through generations.

South Asian American men are not usually depicted as ideal American men. They struggle against popular representations as either threatening terrorists or geeky, effeminate computer geniuses. To combat such stereotypes, some use sports as a means of performing a distinctly American masculinity. Desi Hoop Dreams focuses on South Asian-only basketball leagues common in most major U.S. and Canadian cities, to show that basketball, for these South Asian American players is not simply a whimsical hobby, but a means to navigate and express their identities in 21st century America.The participation of young men in basketball is one platform among many for performing South Asian American identity. South Asian-only leagues and tournaments become spaces in which to negotiate the relationships between masculinity, race, and nation. When faced with stereotypes that portray them as effeminate, players perform sporting feats on the court to represent themselves as athletic. And though they draw on black cultural styles, they carefully set themselves off from African American players, who are deemed “too aggressive.” Accordingly, the same categories of their own marginalization—masculinity, race, class, and sexuality—are those through which South Asian American men exclude women, queer masculinities, and working-class masculinities, along with other racialized masculinities, in their effort to lay claim to cultural citizenship.One of the first works on masculinity formation and sport participation in South Asian American communities, Desi Hoop Dreams focuses on an American popular sport to analyze the dilemma of belonging within South Asian America in particular and in the U.S. in general.
