{"product_id":"9781770410381","title":"Don't Call Me Goon: Hockey's Greatest Enforcers, Gunslingers, and Bad Boys","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn professional hockey, enforcers are often as popular with fans as the stars who cash the big paycheques. Called upon to duke it out with a fellow troublemaker, or to shadow (and bruise) an opponent’s top scorer, these men get the crowds out of their seats, the sports-radio shows buzzing, and the TV audience spilling their beers in excitement. \u003ci\u003eDon’t Call Me Goon\u003c\/i\u003e gives the mayhem-makers their due by sharing their overlooked stories and contributions to the game. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge, research, and interviews, Oliver and Kamchen highlight the players who have perfected the art of on-ice enforcing from old timers like Joe Hall and Red Horner; to legendary heavy-hitters like Tiger Williams, Stu Grimson, and Bob Probert; to fan favourites like Tie Domi and Georges Laraque; and contemporaries like Arron Asham and Brian McGrattan. Don’t Call Me Goon also explores the issues that plague the NHL’s bad boys — suspensions, concussions, controversy — and looks ahead to the future of tough guys in the fastest game on ice.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038859280624,"sku":"9781770410381","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770410381_p0.jpg?v=1763706284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770410381","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
