Reception
[edit]Dave Jenkinson, a Professor Emeritus of the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba, wrote in the Manitoba Library Association's Canadian Review of Materials that The Ultimate Book of Hockey Trivia for Kids is "a terrific purchase by hockey aficionados, whether child or adult".[9] In its Best Books for Kids & Teens guide, Canadian Children's Book Centre said, "This giant collection of hockey trivia is full of all the fun and fascinating facts every ultimate hockey fan needs to know!"[10]
Victoria Pennell wrote in the Society for Canadian Educational Resources' Resource Links that "[t]his book is sure to be a hit with all hockey fans, not just kids".[1] Pennell further wrote, "There is no table of contents or index in this book, thus making it a little difficult if looking for specific information, however, most readers will enjoy it for the trivia aspect rather than as a reference tool".[1]
