"[Ken Dryden is] [h]ockey's brainiest practitioner[...]The story
has grace and pride in the telling, and soul as well."—Canada's
History
“Over 192 beautiful pages, the book combines one player's memories
of the Summit Series with photos, letters and other mementoes to
give the reader a deeply personal glimpse at eight games that
united a nation.”—CBC
“Dryden’s erudite and heartfelt retelling of the events of that
summer is a must-read for students of the game, and the beautifully
packaged book with its myriad color photos is the perfect gift for
hockey fans everywhere.”—The Hockey Writers
“A marvelous tribute to one of the greatest sports events of
the 20th century and – to many historians and fans alike [...] Like
Dryden himself in that 6-5 Game Eight finale in Moscow, the book
comes out a winner.”—International Ice Hockey Federation
“… an interesting one-sitting read with great photographs”—The
Peterborough Examiner
“The Series is not so much a chronicle of the games as an assembly
line of word pictures spilling from the memory of what it felt like
to a thoughtful, observant, and articulate man who not only was
there, but out there on the ice both in Canada and
Moscow.”—Winnipeg Free Press
