  With a voice
as Canadian as winter, David Adams Richards reflects on the place of hockey in the Canadian soul.
  
  The
lyrical narrative of Hockey Dreams flows from Richards' boyhood games on the Miramichi to heated debates with university
professors who dare to back the wrong team. It examines the globalization of hockey, and how Canadians react to the
threat of foreigners beating us at "our" game.
  
  Part memoir, part essay on national identity, part hockey
history, Hockey Dreams is a meditation by one of Canada's finest writers on the essence of the game that helps define
our nation.

  Dreams Unforgotten
  By Steven
Stewart on November 6, 2000
  Richards reveals all those things which we thought nobody else had ever
reflected upon. Could an American possibly enjoy this book? I'm not sure. But every Canadian who once was young, and who
perhaps scooped mounds of snow, in a transe of fantasy, off a bumpy ice surface into the dark hours of once endless
days, will appreciate this book like the game itself; the merciless joy of unhindered potential for our imagined years
to come, and our mission to reach our potential until reality sinks in, will occupy your every shift, deek, and goal (or
assist, for that matter). And this, from a 19 year old reader--just a reminder to Richards: though times have changed,
they have ever remained the same (kids still play hockey, but then, maybe it isn't the same after all).
  
  
  Canada and Hockey - They will only survive together.
  By Mark Brown on September 18, 2002

 Richards makes a distinct comment about Canada in Hockey Dreams. He shows that he is a true Canadian, and is not one
of those people who like to think of themselves as intellectuals that are above the game of hockey. Hockey is deep
rooted in this country, and though it is true that it will never be the same, we still catch glimpses of its true spirit
now and again. Richards has caught the spirit of the game and put it on paper. His is a remarkable feat considering that
most of us can't even describe the game sufficiently in words. This is a must read for all people who consider
themselves true Canadians.
  In all of my eighteen years, I've never read a more accurate description of my game
and its meaning.
