Game Change by Ken Dryden
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BC NATIONAL AWARD FOR CANADIAN NON-FICTIONA GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK
From the bestselling author and Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, this is the story of NHLer Steve Montador-who was diagnosed with CTE after his death in 2015-the remarkable evolution of hockey itself, and a passionate prescriptive to counter its greatest risk in the future- head injuries.
Ken Dryden's The Game is acknowledged as the best book about hockey, and one of the best books about sports ever written. Then came Home Game (with Roy MacGregor), also a major TV-series, in which he explored hockey's significance and what it means to Canada and Canadians. Now, in his most powerful and important book yet, Game Change, Ken Dryden tells the riveting story of one player's life, examines the intersection between science and sport, and expertly documents the progression of the game of hockey-where it began, how it got to where it is, where it can go from here and, just as exciting to play and watch, how it can get there.
Ken Dryden was a goalie with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970s, winning six Stanley Cups with the franchise. In 1972, he was again a member of Team Canada. He has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as well as the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. He is the author of five books, including The Game and Home Game (co-authored with Roy MacGregor), and a former member of parliament and cabinet minister. He and his wife, Lynda, have two children and live in Toronto. The author currently resides in Toronto, Ontario.
