Joe's Note
I'm really excited about this title. Not because of the mind-blowing photography it undoubtedly will have. Not because of the great charitable movement being put forth here.

I'm excited because the NHL and the publishers are quoting little ol' me in their publicity campaign:

The second installment in an annual collection, with photographs that promise to be “nothing short of spectacular.” —Hockey Book Reviews.com

Yep, after one hockey season perhaps Hockey Book Reviews.com is on it's way to the top!

It is Theo's story, but Kirstie McLellan Day is the book's unsung hero. She understood her subject probably more than she wanted to. By doing so, she kept the emotion and the anger in the text brilliantly. I recently had the chance to chat with Kirstie McLellan Day, seen below with Theo Fleury at a recent book signing. Here's the interview: From one author to another, what is it like to wake up in the morning, look at the bestselling books list in a variety of newspapers/media sources and see your book at the very top?! As you know Joe when you are a storyteller, your main goal is to have people listen to your stories. So it is really gratifying to hear that someone is tou...
