What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Game Change is excellent. Well written. Well researched. Well reasoned. Informative. Intriguing. Thought provoking.” —Bob McKenzie, TSN
“Game Change is arguably Dryden’s most significant book since The Game, which is still widely regarded as the greatest hockey book ever written and as one of the best sports books of all time. As good as The Game was, this latest work is the more important to read right now.” —Brett Popplewell, Globe and Mail
“Game Change [is] a powerful and convincing examination of hockey’s failure to address the growing issue of concussions.” —Roy MacGregor, Globe and Mail
“Game Change … is about the brain and head shots and concussions. But more than that, the thread that carries you through this well-crafted story is the life of Steve Montador … who was destroyed too young by injury and circumstance.” —Steve Simmons, Ottawa Citizen
