What's the Score?: The Amazing Hockey World of Liam Maguire

Janet Money is a writer and policy analyst for the Canadian Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation in Toronto.

This book contains more than you’ll ever need to know about the
National Hockey League—its history, its stars, its teams (you name
it). Think you know hockey trivia? You may know that George Hainsworth
holds the NHL record for shutouts in a season, with 22. You may even
know that the record was set in 1928–29. But how many of those games
were wins? And when Hainsworth won the Vezina Trophy that season, how
many Vezinas did that make for him (answers at end of review)? The
author interrupts the hockey trivia only to make a passionate case for
putting Paul Henderson—hero of the 1972 Summit Series against the
Soviet Union—in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

It would be interesting to know how Maguire goes about gathering all
that hockey trivia. Is there a computer program? Or does he get a wild
idea and then comb through game summaries looking for proof? Whatever
his strategy, What’s the Score? is a trivia buff’s treasure trove.
