ONCE UPON A WHOOPEE

THE STORY OF THE FOUNDING AND DISBANDING OF THE SHL TEAM THE MACON WHOOPEE. THE BOOK WHILE ONLY 130 PAGES LONG IS PROBABLY THE MOST ENTERTAINING BOOK ON ICE HOCKEY THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING. THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WILL BE THROUGHLY ENJOYED BY HOCKEY FANS. IF YOU ENJOYED THE MOVIE "SLAPSHOT" YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS "ONCE UPON A WHOOPEE".

A great story - a BTO caliber read!

I was fortunate enough to read the draft copy of this book - it is outstanding. The Macon Whoopee is one of the most original nicknames in all of sports. The original incarnation of the Macon hockey team in 1974 is a classic story. It combines humour, human drama, and pathos all into one package. Read this book if you read no other sports related or human interest related books in the next year. The Gris and Mr. Buckley have written a classic.
