Product Details


Product Description

Review

"Never one to mix words, [Don] Cherry provides an analysis that transcends the reporting found in printed dailies, websites, and typical television broadcasts. That is what he is most often criticized for: not being like everyone else. Cherry provides poignant analysis about the game of hockey that escapes most other commentators. He endeavours to elucidate the small moments within a game that may appear inconsequential, but are integral to the outcome: a failure to clear the zone, a player shying away from a check, a poor line change. This is where Cherry is most valuable as a commentator. As a former coach, one who found great success, he is able to give viewers insights unlike anyone else."
—Ian Smart, 411mania.com

“Don Cherry in print sounds just like Don Cherry over the air…. If you like Cherry, you’ll like this.”

Product Description

#1 National Bestseller

Don Cherry has been named a National Hockey League Coach of the Year with a winning percentage of over .600 and also received Coach of the Year honours in the American Hockey League. His comments on Hockey Night in Canada’s "Coach's Corner" routinely make headlines as they entertain, educate, and often upset some fans throughout North America. He may be controversial, but no one can deny the popularity he enjoys; popularity that was reflected in his top 10 ranking in the competition to determine "The Greatest Canadian."

Now from Grapes himself comes the book that hockey fans of all ages have been waiting for. Written with veteran sports journalist Al Strachan, here are Don Cherry's favourite stories from his career in hockey. And you can imagine the stories he has to tell.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good stories, poorly put together, Nov 16 2008
By Darren Brooks (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed many of the stories Grapes has to tell here, how could you not with the type of personality he has? I wish there was more flow to how they are told though. There is no real sense of organization when there very well could be. Strachan could have put some more effort into it I think. I realize the basis for the book is a bunch of short blurbs and stories and that makes it hard for there to be flow to it, but I really think it could have been better organized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canadian Legend, Jan 14 2009
By K. MacDonald "Beauty" (Hamilton, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I beg to differ from the above comments about organization. Don Cherry makes it very clear at the start of the book that he wanted it to be a collection of stories and memories, told in such a way that it would be like Don was sitting beside you explaining them in his own words. This book does just that. I really felt it was an authentic sitdown with one of hockeys greatest characters, and his ramblings of not quite english not quite any language style of grammar, really gave it that Don Cherry feel.

I flew through the book in about 2 sittings, and I wish that I had taken my time.

If you are a good old Canadian hockey fan, and love Grapes, you will enjoy this book. Its a beauty.
