About this product

Product Information

After a year spent documenting the working life and daily routines of players for an American Hockey League team, Michael Robidoux found that most peoples' perceptions of hockey players' lives as romantic and glamorized are unrealistic. The majority of professional hockey players work in a closed and discriminatory environment in the lower tiers of hockey on semi-professional teams.

Reviews
"Robidoux employs an impressive array of ideas from sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and feminist theory to interpret the homosocial, occupational culture of professional hockey players." Thomas Dunk, author of It's a Working Man's Town: Male Working-Class Culture"Men at Play is a well-researched and documented study, offering the first ethnographic study of the lives of professional hockey players. Robidoux completely explodes the myth of hockey players as spoiled and overpaid, and shows the enormous stress the players face, notably those players who are between the minors and the NHL."
