Words on Ice gathers short fiction and personal essays that explore hockey's place in memory, community and identity. Contributions vary from childhood dreams and small‑town rivalries to locker‑room moments and reflections on fandom.

The collection mixes humor, melancholy and keen observation: goalie tales, accounts of recreational women's hockey, and essays on the rituals and masculinity tied to the sport. Voices alternate between literary storytellers and sports figures, offering a layered portrait of hockey across North America.

Published by Key Porter Books in 2003, this paperback anthology highlights both established writers and memorable sports voices.
