Don Cherry's Hockey Stories, Part 2: With a foreword from Ron Maclean
You thought you'd read them all, did you? Well, you haven't.
Simultaneously loved and loathed, Don Cherry is one of the most talkative and talked-about personalities in hockey today. His more than twenty-five years as a player and coach have informed his popular Hockey Night in Canada commentary segment, "Coach's Corner." And now he's got more stories to share.
In Don Cherry's Hockey Stories, Part 2 , Grapes tells us about the 2010 Stanley Cup, relays the lessons he's learned both on and off the ice, and takes us inside hockey's mythical players' "code." You'll encounter familiar names from the game and find out who this idol looks up to. You'll travel back in time to Cherry's days playing in the minor leagues. You'll share his experiences of being named Coach of the Year in the NHL and in the AHL. And you'll hear from his kids about what it was like growing up with a dad like Don..
Don Cherry tells it like it is, for better or for worse. You won't be disappointed.
P.S. Don wants you to know it's a book the whole family can enjoy.

A shadow, if not a cash-grab, of the first instalment as the stories are more dry than funny & less-focussed on hockey; The chapters written by Cindy & Tim are not what we paid for - I want my $ back!!!
What is appreciated is the ending where he acknowledges mistakes made, some of the Rockie stories & anything to do w McLean (pops & humour) - seems to hold back more on names this time around

It was one of those rainy days I picked up this book while staying with the in-laws. I'm glad I did. Don Cherry's personality and humor is larger than life. If you know anything about hockey these stories with amuse and entertain. Now, to find part 1.

A lot less politically correct than the first one, but hey, that's what you expect from Grapes
