Having watched pro hockey expand to the point of bloat, and suffered through more than one lock-out/strike, I discovered this book and agree with much that is written.
The author makes a case that the NHL is expanding too fast, not allocating money properly, and not thinking of the fans. The author DOES reside in an NHL market, which probably allows for a first-hand look at what is impacting the league. This gives a better overall perspective and adds depth to the book.
The only downside that I can take away from reading is that the book came out just long enough ago that some of the info doesn't necessarily apply to the same degree that it would have say, 10 or 12 years ago. However, even with this in mind, the book is still an entertaining read, and most of the information applies enough that you can see how the game is faltering, and the author suggests things that may help pick it back up and restore it to former glory.
