"Inside Hockey is very proud to be associated with both Darryl Houston Smith and Janet Eagleson, two award-winning hockey writers who are among the most admired and respected writers in our industry," said Kevin Greenstein, Editor in Chief at InsideHockey.com. "The team overviews read like a cross between high-level scouting meetings and a comedy routine. Who knew hockey stats could be so entertaining?"Inside Hockey Fantasy Guide 2018-19 provides all the tools serious fantasy owners need to develop a draft plan and keep to it once the chaos of the initial weeks commences. It does it with a blend of humor and intelligence that sets it apart from its competitors. Darryl Houston Smith, an NHL-accredited writer, and contributor to InsideHockey.com and Rotowire.com shares many strategies he has developed over the years for building a winning team and keeping it that way. Two of his patented tools include the Bobby-Orr strategy for choosing defensemen and the Fugazi, a player who appears to be fantasy gold, but who will prove to be little more than foolish glitter. Houston Smith also reveals how fantasy owners can take control of the NHL schedule and use it to win a title."The Inside Hockey Fantasy Guide provides fantasy players, including keeper leaguers, with the insights they need to take their team and season from good to great," said Janet Eagleson, four-time Hockey Writer of the Year from Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA) and Senior Hockey Writer at Rotowire.com. Eagleson's approach is direct and blunt, and more than one of her readers has drawn parallels between her style and that of the bombastic Don Cherry, regular NHL commentator on Canada's Hockey Night in Canada. "I'd rather be contrarian and win than liked and lose," continued Eagleson.Inside Hockey Fantasy Guide 2018-19 was written by fantasy hockey experts for all levels and types of fantasy players. Everyone from keeper-league owners to daily players will find insights into the league's top players that will make winning their pools easier.

A well-illustrated tribute to maple syrup, including Native legends of its discovery, its long history, how it's made, types of syrup and its grading, stories from people who make it, recipes and notes on using it in cooking. Delia Smith has described maple syrup as 'a unique ingredient, smooth- and silky-textured, with a sweet, distinctive flavour - hints of caramel with overtones of toffee will not do - and a rare colour, amber set alight.' In this richly illustrated book, the authors explore every aspect of maple syrup. They relate Native legends surrounding its discovery and explain its importance in the pioneer diet. They cover the sugar maple's exalted status in the maple tree family, and reveal why maple sap is still one of nature's great mysteries. Also included are: Details about how sugar maples are tapped and how the sap is collected; Insights from producers who reveal their affection for a shared passion; A special 'maple syrup flavour wheel' that describes the many colours, grades and flavour variations available; A selection of recipes, including maple salmon, maple-marinated chicken wings and maple sugar pecans. A complete and fascinating resource filled with history, romance and sweet flavours, The Maple Syrup Book provides the full story behind a long-standing and important North American tradition.
