About this product
Product Information
After a year spent documenting the working life and daily routines of players for an American Hockey League team, Michael Robidoux found that most peoples' perceptions of hockey players' lives as romantic and glamorized are unrealistic. The majority of professional hockey players work in a closed and discriminatory environment in the lower tiers of hockey on semi-professional teams. Players dedicate their lives to the goal of playing professional hockey and teams demand total commitment from their players, giving them complete control over almost all aspects of the players' lives. With the enormous labour turnover in the AHL and the surplus labour pool, players are extremely vulnerable: they must perform well or be replaced by the scores of other men willing to do the same job. With limited education and limited life skills, players seldom meet people who are not connected to the game and, when they do, they do so with trepidation. The constructed universe of the game consumes the players so that, in spite of any wealth they may accumulate, they often know nothing other than the game and have invested everything in an occupation where their services quickly become obsolete.

Item arrived within the specified time frame, a little longer than the yodel 3-5 days that they insisted it was shipped with. I got 1 message from the seller and then they ignored every other message I sent. I will give it to them, the book arrived in perfect condition, but they lied about the courier they used which meant it went untraceable until I figured out which courier it was. Save your self some stress, search Amazon logistics tracking if your tracking number starts with SM
