Tales from the Dog Pound: Chronicling the Canadian Junior Hockey Fan Experience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781730815171)

In Tales from the Dog Pound, hockey historian Curtis Walker chronicles the Canadian junior hockey fan experience as he follows the Ontario Hockey League's Niagara IceDogs from his vantage point up in the corner of the brand-new Meridian Center in downtown St. Catharines. As he shares many of his off-color observations in the stands and of the topsy-turvy fortunes of the team and its players, he contrasts them with those from his decades of experience following teams in the pro ranks dating back to the World Hockey Association. He also highlights the often overlooked dedication of the junior hockey fan base, which is fanatically loyal to a fault and fiercely protective of the boys in uniform. He also takes the reader along for the ride on several fan bus trips, sharing numerous stories from the road and pictures of rinks across the league.
