More Than a Game: What Minor, Junior, and University Hockey Taught Me About Life

by Nathan Chiarlitti

Every year, hundreds of thousands of young players take to the ice, dreaming of a career in hockey, yet, only a few make it to the big leagues.

A successful hockey career shouldn’t be defined by championships won, records broken, or contracts signed. In More Than a Game, Nathan Chiarlitti argues that hockey can develop important qualities to help players in their everyday lives. This book takes hockey players, parents, coaches and fans through the highs and lows of the game, season after season, league after league, and shares some of the important lessons that over twenty years of hockey has taught. Whether in a professional league, a junior league, a minor league or a beer league, hockey really is, More Than a Game.

[Dave Cottenie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this book focuses on the hockey journey of Nathan Chiarlitti, it offers advice and focus that can be taken across disciplines. The idea of learning from all experiences is woven throughout. Interesting opinion on the validity of the Canadian Hockey League paying players minimum wage is also provided. A decent read.
