While Vanity Fair, which published an excerpt of this book online, is correct in describing Odd Man Rush as an uproarious memoir, it's way more than that. The book is about dreams, about pain, about the limits of desire and hard work, about the pressure of time, about timelessness. There is this wise, melancholy strain running through it; like a clock ticking. Like this, from page 172:There's a timelessness to the hockey world, something that keeps those playing pure and innocent. But the clock is always ticking. We work to score goals, stopping the clock momentarily . We harness time in the plays we make, the plays we practice over and over and over to get right. But the moments are fleeting; the memories are what we play for.Or this, later on, near the end, part of a conversation between the author and a teammate:You ever think about what would happen if you were better? [the teammate asks.]What do you mean? [the author replies]Better at hockey. Whether we like it or not, the hard work s*** only gets you so far. Bottom line is there's s*** we can't control. I just wish I were better.That exchange stopped me dead in my tracks; it's so indescribably sad and true----- about many, many things in life, not just in hockey. Truth. Which is pretty much the hallmark of this book. The author's gaze never looks away.The book is filled with conversations that are pitch-perfect and real, which is no small accomplishment; really good writers often founder there. It's a story that FLIES along, as if on skates, told in a rush (no pun intended) like someone getting a long-bottled-up story off his chest and wanting to make absolutely sure that there is nothing, not one single moment of dishonesty in the telling. I finished the book two days ago; I couldn't put it down and now I can't get it out of my mind. Which is pretty much what you want in a book, right? Sticks with you.Read it; you'll see.

In the blurb describing this book that is posted on Amazon, this book is described as: "In his hilarious, gritty, and touching debut, Bill Keenan—a hockey star once on the fast-track to the NHL—tells of how he overcame multiple obstacles to find fulfillment and redemption in the strange world of European minor-league professional hockey ... Part fish-out-of-water travelogue, part coming-of-age memoir, "Odd Man Rush" will capture the interest of not just hockey fans, but also fans of good writing. Throughout, Keenan’s deep affection for the game shines through, even as he describes fans who steal players’ clothes from the locker room or toss empty beer cans onto the rink after games. Abusive fans, cold showers, long bus rides—nothing diminishes his love for the sport."Unfortunately, it's all of that and less. Yes, he does love the game as do I. I wish I'd had the opportunities he's had to play hockey. However, good writing? It reads more like frat brothers sitting around the table trying to put a coherent narrative together, as if it was to become the 'Animal House' of hockey. As the book went on, the slower and less interesting the book became. There was less and less about hockey and more about meeting women. Wish there'd been more hockey.

This is one of the better hockey books out there. But it covers so much more than hockey. It's really a quest book. In Bill Keenan's case, instead of the grail it is a shot at high level pro hockey. It touches on the lengths we will go to pursue our dreams and does it with a great combination of humor and emotion. Keenan does not take himself too seriously while also finding the beauty in sports - be it the passion of fans, the bonds between teammates or the humor of a locker room or bus ride. If you've ever played on a team you'll recognize some of the characters he encounters at Harvard or in Belgium, Germany or Sweden. And when you finish it you are left missing the likes of "Mother Russia," "Chara," and Dean -- and you wonder what Erika thinks of it all. It's a touching and at times hilarious story.

The book is about a dream and the hard work it takes to keep it alive. The dream is be a pro hockey player. The author knows it. Is highly unlikely that he will ever play in a NHL game but is willing to do what it takes to try. The author does a fantastic job telling his story with a good balance of on ice and off ice stories. This is not War and Peace but a good light read , written with a sense of humor. The stories about his teammates are often hilariously.What I liked was he never played the" what if card". Did not dwell on how his career could have been different if the injuries at Harvard did not happen. A good first book from a budding author. Looking to find out what happened next in his life and career.Besides the stories about youth hockey on Long Island brought back memory of my youth playing at some of the same rinks. Nostalgia to me.

It's rare to find a person with enviable talents and accomplishments who is also self-assured enough to approach life with genuine modesty and humorous self-deprecation. In Bill’s case, we’re fortunate that one of these talents is the ability to write about his adventures in the uncharted world of hockey in a way that keeps the reader laughing as they cheer for Negative Game to put one in the net.

A few months ago I read a snippet of this book in Vanity Fair and immediately put it on my "to read" list. Having grown up playing youth hockey with NHL and college hockey dreams, I found the material right up my alley(I never lived that life, so to read it was great). I was even shocked to see some old familiar names from my time as a Squirt and Pee Wee on Long Island. Bill Keenan proves to be a sharp witted guy, who you can tell would have been a great teammate. He has a very self deprecating sense of humor that I found very funny. His stories from Lasker, to Harvard, to Belgium, Sweden and beyond made for some great reading and laugh out loud laughs.I found the book to be very enjoyable to read and I hope the author keeps up with the writing.
