"A real triumph and a book hockey fans deserve. Cold-cocked deserves a place in the pantheon. Absolutely one of the best hockey books of our era."

Star-struck biographies, nostalgic histories, gonzo road trips: hockey books say we're obsessed with the game because we grew up wanting to be players. Now women. Cold-cocked: on Hockey is the first book to explore a woman's way of watching the game poet Al Purdy called a "combination of ballet and murder." Written by author and born-again hockey aficionado Lorna Jackson, Cold-cocked looks at the game through a woman's eyes and heart but is written with a sportswriter's energy and rigor, a hip culturla critic's cynicism and wit, and a fan's limitless passion. Cold-cocked gets inside the NHL machine and tells what it looks and feels like -- good and bad -- to get close to the action.
