Freeberg is an off-ice official for the National Hockey League and as such has fulfilled such duties as gatekeeper in the penalty box and goal judge behind the net. From his unique perspective on NHL hockey, he has crafted a pleasantly written if somewhat rudderless professional memoir. This meandering collection of anecdotes is made up of three types of stories: penalty box tales of both famous players and lesser lights who have frequented the "bin" in Anaheim where Freeberg works, accounts of the responsibilities of off-ice officials, and yarns detailing hockey history such as the development of the Zamboni machine. Not essential, but recommended for all popular hockey collections.?John M. Maxymuk, Rutgers Univ. Lib., Camden, NJ
