About this title

About the Author:

Ross Bernstein is the author of two regionally best-selling Minnesota sports books: "Fifty Years - Fifty Heroes: A Celebration of Minnesota Sports," and Gopher Hockey by the Hockey Gopher. While Fifty Years Fifty Heroes: a Celebration of Minnesota Sports, chronicled the history of the past half-century of Minnesota sports, Gopher Hockey by the Hockey Gopher, was all about the history and heroes of Gopher Hockey from a big, smelly rodents perspective. You see, after a failed attempt to make it as a walk-on to the Gopher hockey team, Ross opted instead to become the team mascot Goldy the Gopher!

Review:

Awesome! -- Brett Hull

When I first saw Frozen Memories, I was immediately taken by all of the incredible pictures. There are hundreds of them, going way back to the 1800s, all the way up to today. Hockey is such a part of our culture here, and this book has somehow captured it all. It was so fun to read about all of the old teams that played here through the years as well, and being from Roseau, I loved reading about the history of the high school tournament. Just to be able to read about so many of my childhood heroes, and to learn about all of the people that worked so hard, so that guys like myself could make a career out of hockey was incredible. Frozen Memories is about celebrating our past, and getting excited about our future. Ross spent the better part of a year researching, interviewing, and preserving our rich hockey heritage in this book. And for that, we all should be grateful, because the final product is awesome. If you enjoy reading about history, biographies, nosta! lgia, and great, funny stories, then youll love it, because its all here. -- Former Gopher and North Stars Legend, Neal Broten
