It's about old guys who started playing hockey as little boys and still play this silly game as old geezers. It's about their playmates . the gals, friends, families and other folks enjoying good times . more or less related to playing organized shinny. It's about jocularity . a mixture of jock activities and hilarity. There's all kinds of fun times --- in arenas, on the ice, in bars, having bar-b-qs, on ball diamonds, golf courses and umpteen other places . sort of like Nathan Detroit's \"oldest floating crap game\", at Snoopy's Senior World Hockey tournament or Barney's Sports Bar in Joxville. And there's lots of \"action\" . off the ice as well as on it. How about the Old Boys' team having a petite exotic dancer for Max's 65th . in a grungy dressing room filled with over-sized, sweaty, smelly skaters, Gentleman Jock's international pool tournament or the hi-jinks of the \"inner sanctums\"? Then there's the very special times . dining with the Great One, meeting the Big Man from Floral and caddying for Arnie. On the ice, we're captivated by endless \"big screen\" highlights . like Charley Hustle's whirling dervish plays, Dirk's dastardly deeds and Boom Boom's hat trick . of penalties! How about such zany characters, like Andy, the flaky goalie who writes poetry and sings songs for the boys? . and Mikey the walking, talking joker? . and Larry, the ballerina? Life has its \"ups and its downs\" .. so do the old pucksters. Fiesty has a serious heart attack and returns to play and \"ref\". Whale is an obese stinker with a barfy bag (of gear) . and that dreaded condition known as \"oldzheimers\" After all is said and done, the Old Pucksters and their Playmates share boundless camaraderie --- the most vital ingredient in seniors' hockey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Al Barnhill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438908660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438908663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Al Barnhill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458276864255,"sku":"9781438908663","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be266a5f-17b5-4f4a-8db1-fd8bbe55bbef.jpg?v=1777403433","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-pucksters-and-their-playmates-al-barnhill-9781438908663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
