<p><strong>“Many of Nova Scotia's best sports stories have never entirely been told, at least not to the extent they deserve.”</strong></p><p>In <em>Inside the Game</em>, sports columnist Chris Cochrane goes beyond the headlines to tell the real stories behind ten of the province's most memorable sporting events and achievements: Clyde Gray's boxing battles with the young, brash Chris Clark; NHL player Bill Riley's persistence in the face of racism; Andrew Haley's stunning performance at the 1996 Paralympic Games; and the surprising break-up of Colleen Jones' curling rink, one of Canada's all-time greatest teams-in any sport. </p><p> Covering a range of sports (including hockey, billiards, boxing, harness racing) from the 1960s to today, <em>Inside the Game</em> is an accessible, engaging read from a talented sports writer. Includes over thirty photos.</p>
