The Game by Ken Dryden (Wiley Canada), defended by Alan Thicke
Ken Dryden (middle) told Jian Ghomeshi he decided to write a memoir because he hadn’t read any sports books that mirrored his own experiences playing hockey, or “what I felt, what I thought.”
Alan Thicke (right), who attended the Canada Reads event with his 93-year-old aunt Marge, declared The Game is not just a hockey book, it’s for “anyone who wants to understand men.”
