Since Morgan James dragged me crying and shouting GENO NO
kicking and screaming into the world of being a hockey fan, I have learned a
lot. I had to, once Morgan we decided to write Winging It. Professional
hockey is a strange, terrible world with its own equally strange and terrible
vocabulary and practices.
In short, it’s fun as hell to set a book in, but it’s easy
to get lost in the jargon if you don’t know what you’re getting into.
Which is why Winging
It has a full glossary as well as three pages of explanations of all the
hockey fan inside jokes. (Sorry, Liz.) But for those of you who’re curious as
to how hockey sucked me in so fast, here’s a taste.
