Could be Net Worth by David Cruise.

There's also a decent account of it in Money Players by Bruce Dowbiggin. Good read.

perhaps it's the book "money players" or "Game Misconduct: Alan Eagleson and the Corruption of Hockey" by Conway.

Are there any books out there that give a summary or history of every Stanley Cup Final? Kind of like how The Ultimate Super Bowl Book covers each super bowl? I'm looking for something that covers the history of the game over the years, particularly with the championship teams.

Net worth is a very good book. YOu may be thinking of that. It talks about the rise and fall of Alan Eagleson and the NHLPA..

Coach told my son he might make him captain of his peewee team this year. I'd love to find a book or two for him written by or about players who were great captains to get him thinking about the role and how to aspire to play it well. Any ideas?

The Game, by Ken Dryden. Surely a "Classic"? MCB

Was trying to find a series of books I read as a kid back in the late 70s or early 80s. Was about a player trying to make it on to the st. Louis blues and followed him to the Stanley cup finals f memory serves. Anyone remember those?

Interview With The Author: Kirstie McLellan Day

A couple of weeks ago I named Theo Fleury's book Playing With Fire as the Hockey Book Reviews.com 2009 Book Of The Year . It was a pretty easy choice this year, due to Theo's tragic story, the book's impact and bestselling status. But I was also full of praise for the book's authorship. 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...
