Excerpt: Xbox GameCube NHL Hitz 20-02, also known as NHL Hitz 2002, is an arcade-style ice hockey video game released by Midway Games. Midway launched this game along with NFL Blitz. The game was a launch title for the Nintendo GameCube and was also released on Xbox and PlayStation 2. It differs from traditional NHL games in that it does not try to accurately simulate real-life ice hockey. The rules are much more relaxed and the attributes of players dramatically increased, giving the game its "arcade-y" feel. The Game used a 3 on 3 approach with 3 more players on the bench. Line Changes could be done in between periods. Fights were included in the game, but the rules of such greatly differed from NHL rules. Fights lasted until someone went down, and the person who lost was taken out of the game permanently. Since there were only 6 players per team, after one team lost 3 fights, there could be no more fights as there were no odd man situations. Hits were encouraged rather than penalized, players could be taken out of the play by knocking them over, incurring no penalties. If a player scored 3 goals in a row on their respective team (the other team could score in the midst of this streak) that player went "On Fire" making them tougher to knock down and giving them a more powerful shot. If any team scored three one-timers in a row they would achieve "Team Fire" in which every player would have Blue Flames surrounding them and have all ...http://booksllc.net/?id=4500788 ...

Absolutely Wonderful Collection of NY Ranger Memories
No one knows the New York Rangers like John Halligan, who for many years served as their Director of Public Relations.

In this spectacular volume, Halligan has brought together the best memories from the Rangers' history to provide a comprehensive and nostalgic journey for Ranger fans - and hockey fans - all over the world.

Gorgeous photos, in-depth detail, and hilites of all Rangers' special moments are captured within. This is a collectors' item for past, present and future hockey fans.

Quite simply, this is the type of book you pick up for a quick glance, and when you look up at the clock, you find you've been immersed in it for what turns out to be over two hours of pure pleasure.

Very highly recommended!!!

Fantastic Historical Overview.
The "New York Rangers-Seventy-Five Years", is a superb historical look back at 75 years of Ranger hockey.Author John Halligan, who is a former public relations director for the Rangers, gives the fan, a fantastic look back at the birth of this great franchise, and takes you on a journey from 1926 to the year 2000.All the legends of Ranger hockey are presented in all their glory.Names like the Bill and Bun Cook, Lester Patrick, Ching Johnson, Murray Murdoch, Chuck Rayner, Gump Worsley, Andy Bathgate, Harry Howell, Rod Gilbert, Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield, Eddie Giacomin, Brad Park, Adam Graves, Mark Messier, Brian Leetch and Mike Richter are just a few of the Ranger legends that are brought to life with rare photo's and text that help make this book the best book ever published on the New York Rangers.The all-time Ranger team fold out section by John Davidson is a very nice touch to this oversized coffee table book.Seeing the full page photo of Eddie Giacomin overcome by emotion playing for the Red Wings, as the crowd chanted his name for 2 hours surely brought back memories of an event that will live forever in Ranger history.All four stanley cup teams are covered here, 1927, 1933,1940 and of course 1994.The book has lots of statistical data at end section of the book to help settle any arguments over who had more goals and shutouts etc.I can't think of a better gift to give to a young Ranger fan who would like to explore the history and players who wore the uniform of the New York Rangers.

Product Description
In February 2002, the greatest hockey teams this country could muster headed to Salt Lake City to compete in the Winter Olympics. Our men and women hoped to go all the way to the finals, but it had been fifty long years since the Canadians had won Olympic gold. In the past, they had come close – it was just that luck always seemed to be against them.

This time, however, their chances to end the long drought were good. The women looked set for a medal – although the all-powerful American team stood between them and the ultimate prize. The Canadian men faced strong opponents, too, but prospects were good for the all-star team assembled by the great Wayne Gretzky. And this time, both teams had a secret weapon. So secret, in fact, they didn’t even know it existed. At first.


Like all good secrets this one was too good not to pass along. Under the surface at centre ice, Trent Evans had hidden a Canadian loonie. The expert ice maker had been invited down from Edmonton to help install the ice for the Games, and this was his little good-luck charm for our Olympic hockey teams. Perhaps, he figured, the guys could use some “home ice” advantage.

A Loonie for Luck is the true story of that loonie and the magic it wove at Salt Lake City. It follows Wayne Gretzky, Trent Evans, and the men’s and women’s teams through their time at the Games. And it pays tribute to the role of superstition and chance in hockey – a part of the sport not always acknowledged, but one that brings real magic to the game.

With the close co-operation of Wayne Gretzky and Trent Evans, Roy MacGregor tells the inside story of how the coin came to be in Trent Evans’ pocket and then buried under centre ice. He tells how, throughout the Games, the loonie was in danger of being uncovered as the secret began to spread, and how, as the tournament progressed, with the players in need of every break they could get, the good luck miraculously held.

This true story, brilliantly illustrated by Bill Slavin, is full of suspense, humour, and charm. It will delight every Canadian who felt a surge of pride for our athletes at Salt Lake City. ... Read more

For all Canadian Hockey fans
The fact that there was a loonie at centre ice during the Salt Lake City Olympics only makes the double gold that much sweeter.
I loved reading about how the loonie came to be as well as how the Canadian teams perceived it.This story is for the true Canadian Hockey fan and will remain a legend for years to come.

I devoured this short read of Canadian history in one sitting.
