For subject matter alone, “More…Frozen Memories: Celebrating a Century of Minnesota Hockey” - updated through 2007 - is worth picking up and reading on any of the subjects and teams that Ross Bernstein explores. The research and time put towards publishing is evident. However, be warned - these 250 small-printed pages found in a large coffee-table book are not for the faint of heart, nor are they meant to be read as a novel in a few sittings. After two winters sporadicly reading chapters - which feature both analytical summaries of hockey’s development in various echelons throughout Minnesota, but also lackluster, repetitive recaps of every season - I am happily at the end of this reading experience. The State of Hockey is better because this reference book exists - key word: book of reference - but look for other sources when trying to find a captivating page-turner that covers a specific MN hockey program.
