Expand his mind a little and get him this collection, full of funny and witty haikus about hockey!

Best book of all time So funny we laughed outloud High five for haiku

The genius/craft of this work stands on it's own. My favorite part is watching my friends do a double take on the coffee table. "Hockey Haiku??? What the puck?!?"

No one, at least not anyone with half the wits of the most brilliant of the Winnipeg school, doubts the importance and influence of hockey Haiku in understanding and articulating the ontological and epistemological etiology and development of what we know as modern hockey. However, until now the history of this development has been a subject of mere conjecture. In this groundbreaking, epic work Poch and Davidson trace this development and its expression in Haiku verse and history from its vestigial beginnings to the modern day. No one who wishes to grasp the depth and breadth of what hockey is about can afford to neglect this book. Defining. Definitive. Comprehensive. Compelling. One might expect a rejoinder on these pages from the Winnipeg school, but as this is a book of words and not pictures it will be rendered, necessairly, incomprehensible to them. So, don't hold your breath. Just buy the book.
