LA CAR'S BRIAN KENNEDY AT
PASADENA VROMAN'S
Kennedy Gives a Reading From His Latest Book
We know him as LA Car Editor-at-Large Brian Kennedy, writer of reviews on autos, autobooks and motorsports. But for Brian, that "at large" title extends beyond
the world of automotive journalism. Brian Kennedy is known throughout the North American hockey
community as a writer and reporter of that sport. Following up his first book, the bestselling
Growing Up Hockey, Brian Kennedy is back with more hockey
stories. This time, he collects the stories of NHL stars and hockey journalists
as they "grew up hockey." Great for hockey fans and newcomers alike, his
collection of stories may introduce you to something you never knew about your
favorite star. But as AMHL.com color commentator Jim Dwyer says, "the beguiling beauty in Brian
Kennedy's 'Living the Hockey Dream' is the diversity of stories. Amidst the
unique insights into the Gretzkys and Granatos and Hulls and Howes, Kennedy
presents profiles of unheralded hockey people such as an animated arbiter,
meandering minor leaguers, and a hoarder of hockey sweaters. Whether his
subjects are male or female, professional or amateur, North American or
European, Kennedy demonstrates a rare flair for encapsulating the abundant joys
of hockey."On January 18th, Brian was at Vroman's Bookstore in
Pasadena to talk about his new book, read passages, and chew the fat. It was a
night to remember for hockey fans and LA Car
readers alike. - Roy Nakano
