Probably not where you would think.The state with more professional teams than any other is...Texas. If you travel deep into the heart of football country, you will discover one of the most fascinating sports developments of the last fifteen years. From Amarillo to the Rio Grande Valley, Texans have come to love their hockey.Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs and in-depth interviews with some of hockey’s biggest names—from players like Mike Modano and the Howe family to front-office guys like Jim Lites and Rick Kozuback—The Lone Star Skate is a must-have for anyone who is passionate about the puck.
