FROM RINKS TO REGIMENTS, author Alan Livingstone MacLeod recounts the tales of men like LeSueur who served their country between 1914 and 1918. For a goalie, “Peerless” Percy LeSueur could handle a puck with the best of them. But he couldn’t have predicted that his skill with a twig would land him a new gig, teaching the deadly art of bayonet warfare.
MacLeod’s writing is lively and brisk, and the book features plenty of historical hockey photos that fuel our nostalgia for “the good ol’ hockey game.” It’s a great gift for hockey fans who appreciate the storied history of a game that is, ironically, known by the nickname “war on ice.”
