"...for those who share McIntyre’s love of the province and its football teams, it’s sure to delight." 
Kirkus Reviews

"Ron's book is a great look into football in Alberta and the heroes it produced."   D. Charnaw

"What makes sports teams consistently excellent? This is the question that Ron McIntyre seeks to answer with his engaging and entertaining book, Gridiron Wisdom. Through countless interviews and extensive research, McIntyre examines some of the legendary football teams in Alberta, their culture, their coaching and their values. While this book has plenty of on-the-field strategies, the delight is in the stories, sports stories, people stories, funny stories, stories about the history of the province. This will be useful to coaches and students of sports excellence, but it also shines a light on a little known element of Alberta history and character."  ​
R. Gardner

"McIntyre expresses incredible gratitude to the teams, programs, mentors, teammates, coaches, friends, and partners who have been in his life. He tells the stories of how the game of football in Alberta was instrumental in providing a welcoming environment for immigrants, a vehicle to provide direction for young men in need of that and an opportunity to become incredible leaders in their communities. One can’t help but look back to how the teams of any kind in our own past have helped us be better contributors." 
​C. Stewart

"McIntyre's book manages to be both humble and ambitious at the same time. It focuses on a specific field (football) he manages to chart a path to success. Leadership leads to winning, and longevity builds strong and vibrant communities with exemplary leaders. For anyone looking to learn about football culture in Alberta or how leadership leads to legacies, find this useful, entertaining, and important."
