In the more than two decades since, the adidas Copa Mundial has remained the world's most popular soccer boot! A trusted and timeless classic, the Copa Mundial is made with a durable kangaroo leather upper with adidas' signature three stripe detail, a full lace up closure, and a lightly padded collar for additional support and comfort. This sleek shoe also features synthetic linings, a removable cushioned insole, and a high abrasion cleated outsole for premium footing on the field. The outsole features dual-density direct-injected Polyurethane with molded studs.

For the Love of Hockey collects the personal stories of 91 of the game's greatest players, stars such as Rocket Richard, Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemieux. With big, full-color action shots and the words of the players themselves, this is a heartfelt tribute to the most talented practitioners of a fast and furious sport.

In this new collection of exquisitely crafted essays, veteran sports writer Jack Falla writes about hockey as he has seen and experienced it over the past fifty years. Reflections on the game, its personalities and arenas, and twenty-five years of commitment to creating his backyard rink are woven into family memories and other fond remembrances.

A heartwarming and amusing collection, Open Ice is sure to touch every hockey fan and all those who have grown up loving the game.

Praise for Jack Falla's Previous Collection of Essays, Home Ice

"literary hot chocolate that will warm your heart."
—The New York Times

"While Home Ice may be a book about hockey and the charm of backyard rinks, it is more than that, too. It is a book about relationships—between fathers and sons, husbands and wives—and how the game can bridge the gaps that commonly occur between generations in a family... It's a treasure and one that readers will be happy they searched out. Possibly the best hockey book since Ken Dryden's The Game."
—The Globe & Mail

"A gentle and powerful book."
—Dave Bidini, Author of Tropic of Hockey and The Best Game You Can Name
