New Alberta Sport History Books!

Readers were out last night for Lit Fest at City Hall to hear Edmonton authors Dr. Karen Wall and Dr. Ann Hall speak about Alberta sport history.

Game Plan:  A Social History of Sport in Alberta by Wall and The Grads are Playing Tonight! by Hall are new titles and exciting research.  Alberta's past comes to life in these books by University of Alberta Press.

Former Olympian and speed skater Doreen Ryan was there.  Winter freeze up is coming and local speed skaters are eager for ice!  New Alberta sport history books are also ready reading for winter.  Check out these links to the hot new books:
