Michigan will never forget Gordie Howe’s presence on and off the ice — he combined skill, savvy,
strength, meanness and longevity like no other hockey player. Known to generations of fans as Mr.
Hockey, Howe passed away on June 10, 2016 at the age of 88. The Detroit Red Wings legend’s
career spanned from 1946 to 1980, including 25 seasons with the Red Wings. A 23-time NHL All-Star,
Howe led the Red Wings to four Stanley Cups, won six Hart Trophies as the league’s most valuable
player and won six Art Ross Trophies as the NHL’s top scorer. When he retired in 1980, he held the
NHL records for regular-season goals (801), assists (1,049), points (1,850). In this tribute to the
legendary Red Wing that features nearly 100 images, the Detroit Free Press reflects on Howe’s life in
128 pages of historic photos and defining stories about Mr. Hockey.

goalie look like a Hall of Famer one week and a candidate for the minor leagues the next? This

mind as he builds a roster or constructs a game plan, to the chaos of the goalie’s crease, and deep
into the perpetual chess match between offense and defense. Discussing topics such as what to look
for when a team goes on the power play and why playing center might be the most grueling job in
sports, Take Your Eye Off the Puck shows fans how to get the most out of watching their favorite sport.

In the early 1970s, a young Patrick Roy laced up his hockey skates for the very first time, like
thousands of other kids. More than 30 years later, his indomitable will to win and his focus on being
the very best brought him four Stanley Cups, three Conn Smythe trophies, three Vezina trophies,
and many more individual honors. An incredible hockey talent who was instrumental in changing the
very art of goaltending, Roy’s success was driven as much by determination and perseverance as by
talent. Patrick Roy: Winning, Nothing Else brings to life Roy’s phenomenal career and unmasks his

No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress-ridden as that of a hockey
goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive
compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date
the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the
troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the
Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision
in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with
depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head.
Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he
looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death—twice.

Chris Nilan, who grew up in the tough and gritty Irish enclave in Boston, was a feared enforcer for the
Montreal Canadiens, the Boston Bruins, and the New York Rangers and a Stanley Cup champion
never afraid to go into the corners or take off his gloves. He was a valued teammate whose very
presence on the ice affected the way the game was played. As an enforcer and as a teammate, Nilan
ranks among the greatest of all time; when the cheering stopped, however, Chris Nilan did not do
well. The same qualities—his aggressiveness and high-emotion style—that proved so valuable on
the ice did not serve him well when his career ended. Nilan turned to drugs and alcohol to dull his
pain and nearly died from an overdose. His story is a fascinating and troubling exposé of the booze,
bills, and drugs that destroy so many athletes after their careers are over. But it’s also a story of
triumph, as Nilan has been the victor in his fight against his demons.

Written with the full support of Keith Magnuson’s wife and children, this thrilling and insightful
biography pays tribute to a Chicago icon and true hockey legend. One of the most popular Chicago
Blackhawks of all time, defenseman Keith Magnuson was raised on the raw, rough traditions of
hockey in western Canada. He captained the University of Denver team to its second straight NCAA
championship in the spring of 1969 and by autumn joined Blackhawks stars Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita,
and Tony Esposito, becoming the much-needed “policeman” for the team. Over the course of the
next several seasons, Magnuson and the Blackhawks fell painfully short of their Stanley Cup
aspirations; nonetheless, Magnuson’s leadership qualities led to his being named captain of the
team. On December 15, 2003, Magnuson was in Toronto riding in a car driven by former player, Rob
Ramage: he was killed when the car veered over the center line and struck an oncoming vehicle. As
veteran sportswriter Bob Verdi described Magnuson upon his retirement from the Blackhawks, “there

More than 30 years after its cinematic debut, Slap Shot remains one of the most popular sports
movies of all time, and this book is actor Dave Hanson’s firsthand account of its making. Starring
the legendary Paul Newman, the movie was based on the hilarious and outrageous antics of the
fictitious Charlestown Chiefs, a tough-as-nails minor league hockey team in the early 1970s. In
financial trouble and due to fold at the end of the season, they bring in the Hanson Brothers—three
of the toughest hockey players around—in a desperate bid to sell tickets. What ensues is pure comic
genius. Here, Dave Hanson—who played ringleader Jack Hanson in the film—not only opens the vault
and dishes the dirt on the making of the movie, from the bench-clearing brawls and the practical
jokes on set to the legendary partying that went on during filming, but also explores how the movie
changed his and many of the cast and crew’s lives forever.

Two decades of lockouts, soaring ticket prices, and on-ice tinkering have convinced many hard-core
fans that the NHL’s long-time commissioner Gary Bettman is the devil in disguise, but this book
examines his motivations, peels back his often prickly demeanor, and explains how he manages to
lead, confound, and keep order. It details the unlikely ascension of a fatherless Jewish kid from
Long Island—who never played hockey and can barely skate—to the sport’s biggest job. The
seven-fold increase in gross revenue during Bettman’s 20-year tenure as NHL commissioner makes
him a business success story, and on his watch, professional hockey has also expanded far beyond
its regional strongholds. By taming the NHL’s famously fractious owners, all but busting its players’
union, and enforcing a lawyerly discipline even on trash talk, Bettman has become a figure of almost
unrivaled power in the business of sports, and this biography delves into how his influence shapes
rival leagues in other countries, dictates the schedule of the Olympic Winter Games, and spills onto
the ice itself.

brightly as the Philadelphia Flyers’ Bernie Parent, and this autobiography shares how he became one

The role of hockey in Canada serves as a national identity, a unifying force in a country of 33 million
people. So crazed are Canadians for their national sport that they ranked outrageous hockey
commentator and high school drop-out Don Cherry ahead of Alexander Graham Bell on a list of the
greatest Canadians in history. Penned by hockey star Paul Henderson-famed scorer of Canada's
"Greatest Goal" in the 1972 Summit Series-and featuring a foreword by Prime Minister Stephen
Harper, How Hockey Explains Canada explores just how deeply engrained this national pastime is in
the Canadian psyche. The intelligent discourse on Canada's national sport goes far beyond the
sport's most-loved icons, great plays, and notorious brawls by looking into the history and culture of
the game to explain why hockey has had such an enigmatic hold on Canadians. Featuring interviews
with more than 35 current and former NHL players, coaches, executives, and commentators, this
expansive biography of the sport explores hockey's inextricable connection to everything from the

Documenting his notorious career with the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks, Bob
Probert details in this autobiography how he racked up points, penalty minutes, and bar bills,
establishing himself as one of the most feared enforcers in the history of the NHL. As Probert played

carrying cocaine across the border, and survived a near fatal motorcycle crash all during his
professional career, and he wanted to tell his story in his own words to set the record straight. When
he died unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 45 on July 5, 2010, he was hard at work on his
memoir—a gripping journey through the life of Bob Probert, with jaw-dropping stories of his on-ice
battles and his reckless encounters with drugs, alcohol, police, customs officials, courts, and the NHL,
told in his own voice and with his rich sense of humor.
