Now available in paperback, Between the Lines: Not-So-Tall Tales From Ray “Scampy” Scapinello’s Four Decades in the NHL gives a rare glimpse inside the world of hockey from an unusual perspective: through the eyes of one of the game’s greatest and best-loved officials.

“I put them, and hundreds of others, in the penalty box because they deserved it,” Wicks wrote in the introduction to his new book, A Referee's Life. “Rules are rules, and I called 'em whenever anyone broke 'em.”
