Title: Home Ice : Confessions of a Blackhawks Fan
Description: Unable to skate and surrounded by sports fans who cared more about Evel Knievel than hockey, Kevin Cunningham became obsessed with the Chicago Blackhawks as a confused eight year old. He has no idea why. Yet from that moment on he embarked on a fan's journey that absorbed his childhood, destroyed his GPA, and made him seriously weigh romance against an away game at Calgary. What explains this fascination? Home Ice combines memoir and history to explore how the mysteries of Blackhawks fandom explain big questions like tribal belonging, masculinity, and why you would ever trade Chris Chelios. In recounting the team's—and his own—wins and losses (and ties), Cunningham covers everything from Keith Magnuson's bachelor pad to the grim early aughts to Patrick Kane's Cup-winner. Throughout, he explores how we come to love the things we love. Funny and touching, Home Ice is one Blackhawk fan's attempt to understand why sports fandom is utterly ridiculous and entirely necessary.
