This Utah author interviewed 65 NHL broadcasters. Here's what they have to say

Utah-born author Kirk McKnight capitalized on that, writing a book after interviewing 65 NHL broadcasters, past and present. McKnight's goal was to focus on the “crazy, zany and bloody parts of hockey, to make it a lot more interesting,” he told the Deseret News in an interview, and it's all told from the perspective of people who talk for a living: the broadcasters. One example, which can be heard for free via audio sample on Apple Books and Google Play, is a story told by Bob Costas, who primarily broadcasted other sports over his lifetime but started his career in minor league hockey in 1973. Costas shared the story of a series of fights breaking out on the ice, then in the stands, then mixing and turning into all-out mayhem.
