Lightly rubbed at the corners of the dustjacket; no interior markings. Each of these stories in this playful irreverent book takes a headlong run at the hockey dressing room and each knocks down the door. Said the Toronto Star "Anyone who revels in the smell that seeps from a hockey bag or the language that seeps from a locker room will appreciate where Bidini is coming from." Five Hole has two definitions: 1 - The space between a goalie's legs. 2 - The book that brings Canada's two favourite pastimes - sex and hockey - together at last. The Contents are: One Hundred Bucks; Why I Love Wayne Bradley; Joan; I am Bobby Wolf; Cortina; and The Five Hole. . First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Matt James;. 8vo.
