"The Role I Played is worth it to two kinds of people -- hockey buffs and those who yearn for inspiration." -- Winnipeg Free Press, " The Role I Played is worth it to two kinds of people -- hockey buffs and those who yearn for inspiration." -- Winnipeg Free Press, "Overall, The Role I Played was a quick read for me as I was immersed in Small's storytelling from the first page right through the epilogue." -- Hockey Blog in Canada, " The Role I Played is important as both a history book and an autobiography, but more than this Small's book is simply a great book and a great read.
