Road Games: A Year in the Life of the NHL

by Roy MacGregor

Road Games is a passionate, engrossing and authoritative chronicle of the extraordinary 1992-93 NHL season, one that ended with an inquiry into whether or not the Ottawa Senators deliverately "tanked it" to secure their first overall draft pick of hockey's newest sensation, Alexandre Daigle. This was the season that Mario Lemieux's involvement in a sordid scandal was forgotten when he overcame cancer to win the scoring title; Doug Gilmour emerged as one of the game's finest players; and European stars Selanne, Bure, Mogilny and Fedorov rose to preeminence, while the North American hockey heroes-Gretzky, Lemieux, and Lindros-endured a season marked by injury, sickness, disturbing controversy and moving comeback.

Reviews

[Joe Seliske · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another strong effort by Roy MacGregor. The birth of a hockey team is always interesting, especially in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The struggles of the Ottawa Senators in 1992-1993 are well chronicled. The balance between money and hockey tell the tale. Well done.
