I can honestly say that I’d never read McKeen’s 2010-11 Pool Yearbook before I received my copy from generous editor Gus Katsaros yesterday. I can also honestly say that I’ve never read any hockey yearbook like it. Creative, forward-thinking, well-written and an easy read with well-researched information. I fully recommend it for any hockey fan, fantasy-player or not.
I’ll just use myself as an example: I’m not a fantasy player, never really have been, might get in a league this year, but will probably lapse. I still enjoyed the book for its multitude of player projection, just because its fun to debate what kind of seasons certain players have (I think they’re totally underrating Travis Zajac) and where teams will finish, etc. It’s less about storylines and more about the fun numbers and statistics hockey geeks lap up with ease.
You can order your copy, or find out where you can purchase one in person, right here. Until the new Daily Show book is released next week, it is what I shall be reading non-stop.
