Game Change: The Life and Death of Steve Montador, and the Future of Hockey

This Globe and Mail Best Book has been nominated for the BC National Award in the Canadian Non-Fiction category. Another instalment from Hall of Fame personality and bestselling author, Ken Dryden, this is the heart-rendering story of NHL player Steve Montador who, only after he died in 2015, was diagnosed with CTE. It explores the evolution of the game and how to counter hockey’s greatest risk: head injuries.

This book has got to be the most powerful release from Dryden yet and it tells the riveting story of Montador’s life, while closely examining the connection between sport and science. The book expertly documents the progression of the game, form where it began to where it can go from here and is easily as exciting to read as it is to watch the game of hockey. It further explores how the game got to where it is today and how it can get to where it needs to be.
