ReplyDeleteMy rating for 'the big book of hockey' is 8/10 because some parts weren't interesting and I struggled to read them. I liked the part in the book where it shows all the things players can get penalties for, and the hand/arm signals the referee uses to represent a certain action the player has done. The book was a little boring at the start when it talks about how hockey came to b the way it is, by having several similar games around the world put together to form 'Hockey'. I was reading this book during the world Juniors was happening, and now when I'm watching on TV I've recognized different things I've read in the book.

ReplyDeleteI rate this book a 5 out of 10 because I personally don't like hockey that much. I found most of the book pretty boring.I did learn a wole bunch of things that I didn't know about such as the resons for penalties, where it originated, what awards they can get, and much more. I did however like reading about the most goals scored in a season, in a game, in a career, etc ( most of which where for Wayne gretzky). I also liked reading about womens hocky.
Raphaelle5A. I give this book 8 out of 10 because I learned everything there is to know about hockey. This book was very well written but could get a little boring at times.my favorite parts were about Foster Hewitt and the history of the helmet.I think every hockey lover would like this book because its very detailed and have amazing facts about hockey.

ReplyDeleteI would give this book 6\10. I didn't find it very interesting (I don't like hockey) but some parts were. I found liked learning about teams that now have different teams than they once did. For example the Toronto Maple Leafs have been "The Arenas" and "The St. Patricks". I also had no idea that "The Stanley Cup" was named after Lord Stanley of Preston. If you like hockey (not me) I would highly recommend this book.

ReplyDeleteI will give the book 4/10. To start off I am not the biggest fan of hockey. I found parts of the book very boring. For example they talked about trophies for ten long pages. But stuff I liked was were they had all the top scores and most points in a season.
