Playing Overtime, A Celebration of Oldtimers' Hockey

Macmillan Canada, 1995

 

 

   

 

When Playing Overtime was published, Barris donned one of his oldtimers' hockey sweaters as he read excerpts during Books & Authors Night in Uxbridge in 1995.

 

Perhaps the real title for his book should be Playing All the Time. Whenever he's not teaching or writing, he joins his second family, the Uxbridge Oilies Hockey Club, for Wednesday night scrimmages and the odd competitive tournament. In 2005, the Oilies surprized even themselves barely losing in the final of their division. But the beer tasted great anyway.
