"In this heartfelt collection of personal hockey stories, sports broadcaster and author Jim Lang brings together the remarkable voices of hockey players, coaches, families, and fans who have overcome adversity and are championing the game they love -- on and off the ice. Read about former Humboldt Broncos defenceman Logan Boulet, whose selfless organ donation helped six Canadians and motivated almost 150,000 people to register as donors in the following weeks. Meet players like Kelly Serbu, who didn't let his visual impairment stop him from playing hockey and is now raising awareness and funds for blind hockey programs, or Kim McCullough, who founded Total Female Hockey to empower other aspiring female players. Follow players and coaches of colour such as Jim Paek and Jason Payne who are helping to break down barriers, and the hockey parents who are working to make the game more accessible. These are the everyday heroes who are defying the odds and inspiring change. Featuring extraordinary stories of tireless advocates and unbelievable successes, Everyday Hockey Heroes, Volume III is a celebration of the great game of hockey and the heroes -- sung and unsung -- found on rinks and in arenas across the country."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Hockey; Hockey; Hockey;

- My day with the Cup : NHL players tell their stories about hometown celebrations with hockey's greatest trophy / by Lang, Jim,1965-author.;
"There is no trophy like the Stanley Cup. It has the names of every champion who's won it engraved on its shining sides. And when it is won, it is presented first to the players, who have fought so hard to raise it above their heads. The Cup is special in another way, too. Every summer, it goes on a cross-continent tour (and sometimes overseas), visiting every player, coach, and team member who won it that year. Everyone gets their day with the Cup -- chaperoned by one of the ever-watchful Keepers of the Cup from the Hockey Hall of Fame to make sure it doesn't get into too much trouble. The Cup has been everywhere, from the bottom of a pool at a rock star's mansion, to a ride through the sky above Montreal in a helicopter flown by none other than hockey legend Guy Lafleur. It has served beer and champagne, breakfast cereal for kids, popcorn, and hotdogs. It brings joy to players and fans and inspires awe everywhere it goes. Veteran sportscaster and bestselling author Jim Lang has interviewed more than 30 players and coaches, and a couple of Keepers of the Cup, to collect these behind-the-scenes stories of the Stanley Cup's adventures. Each one is special, but they all share strong themes of family and friends, community, gratitude, and the feeling that the greatest achievements in life are best when shared with others."--- Subjects: Interviews.; National Hockey League; Stanley Cup (Hockey); Hockey players;
