Without Fear: Hockey's 50 Greatest Goaltenders
Sports fans love to argue. About which strategy should be used. About whose team is better. About which coach is the best. But nothing revs the motor of a sports fan more than a debate about who are the greatest players of all time. This book attempts to settle at least one of these debates: Who are the greatest hockey goalies of all time. And it does so with an all-star lineup of experts just as impressive as the 50 men selected as the best goalies of the 20th Century. Indeed, Gladiators may just end the debate once and for all. Kevin Allen, the esteemed hockey writer for USA Today, and Bob Duff, respected columnist for the Hockey Weekly, team with Hall of Fame goalie and super scout Johnny Bower and dozens of NHL greats who played outside the net to provide a provocative—and sharply persuasive—list of the best goalies ever. Bower’s critical eye, he provides incisive evaluations of each goalie, and the commentary by such luminaries as Gordie Howe, Bill Gadsby, Dino Ciccarelli, Brett Hull, Marcel Proust, and others, who provide the equally compelling perspective of those who tried to score against them, give Gladiators an unprecedented credibility. Allen and Duff give it an unprecedented polish. Not only do the authors list the 50 greatest, they rank them one through fifty. The well-rounded list includes such old-timers as Terry Sawchuk, Ken Dryden, and Georges Vezina and the stars of today, such as Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, and Curtis Joseph. Bracing descriptions of each goalie as a player and a person accompany Bower’s technical analysis and the insights of the scorers..

The Unbeatable Martin Brodeur
If Martin Brodeur isn't the greatest goalie who ever played in the NHL, then who is? He has won three Stanley Cups, played every game of his career for the same team, and is certain to break the three most important records a goalie can possess — most career shutouts, most wins, and most games played. Martin Brodeur is unbeatable and without question stating that he is the best that the game has ever seen would be impossible to argue. Brodeur's rise to the top of the NHL was swift. His dominance was enduring, and his level of play year after year has been without equal. The Unbeatable Martin Brodeur chronicles his career from his early childhood playing amateur hockey in Montreal to his NHL debut in New Jersey, his Stanley Cup performances and his Olympic glory. From his first shutout along his record-breaking route through the first 15 years of his extraordinary life in hockey, The Unbeatable Martin Brodeur is an exciting and informative look at one of the most admired players to ever lace up skates. .

A Breed Apart: An Illustrated History of Goaltending
The only job in sports that seems crazier than hockey goalie is hockey goalie in the era before masks. That time is examined in A Breed Apart, an exuberant, photo-rich tribute to the game's last line of defense and most interesting personalities. The great goalies--from Vezina and Worters to Dryden and Roy--are profiled in detail, and there are smart era-by-era analyses of how the position's equipment and style of play have changed, and how each relates to the other. Ultimately, the players beneath the padding emerge as the unique sporting characters implied by the title. As Gerry Cheevers, famed for decorating his mask with the stitches it saved him from, observes, "We goaltenders, alone and unloved, tend to be very proud bastards." In A Breed Apart, they make the most of their chance to preen. .
