Willie : the game-changing story of the NHL's first black player / by O'Ree, Willie,1935-author.; McKinley, Michael,1961-author.; Iginla, Jarome,1977-writer of foreword.;

"An inspiring memoir that shows that anyone can achieve their dreams if they are willing to fight for them. In 1958, Willie O'Ree was a lot like any other player toiling in the minors, waiting for his chance to play in the best hockey league in the world. He'd grown up playing in small towns, working his way up the complicated hierarchy of junior and minor leagues, losing teeth and dropping the gloves along the way. He was good. Good enough to have been signed by the Boston Bruins, good enough to have been invited to training camp twice. In a six-team league, that meant he was one of the best players in the world. Just not quite good enough to play in the NHL. Until January 18 of that year. The call came, and Willie O'Ree was told he'd be suiting up against the Montreal Canadians. The next morning, he opened the paper to see if his name showed up in the box score. Instead, he found it on the front page, in the headline. Without even realizing it, Willie O'Ree had broken hockey's colour barrier, just as his hero, Jackie Robinson, had done for baseball. In 2018, O'Ree was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in recognition not only of that legacy, but of the way he has built on it in the decades since. He has been, for twenty years now, an NHL Executive. As Director of Youth Development, O'Ree has helped the NHL Diversity program expose more than 40,000 boys and girls of diverse backgrounds to unique hockey experiences. Over the past decade, O'Ree has traveled thousands of miles across North America helping to establish 39 local grassroots hockey programs, all geared towards serving economically disadvantaged youth. While advocating strongly that "Hockey is for Everyone," O'Ree stresses the importance of essential life skills, education, and the core values of hockey: commitment, perseverance, and teamwork."--

The save of my life : my journey out of the dark / by Hirsch, Corey(Hockey goalkeeper),author.; Conboy, Sean Patrick,author.;

"A riveting look behind the mask of an NHL goalie, The Save of My Life offers understanding and hope to anyone living with mental illness. By the time he was twenty-two years old, goaltender Corey Hirsch had realized his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, won an Olympic medal and drunk from the Stanley Cup. While he excelled on the ice, out of the net Hirsch was plagued by persistent dark thoughts and ceaseless anxiety. On days when he could barely get out of bed, he was able to push aside the endless loop of dark thoughts running inside his brain long enough to win a game. But as soon as he got back home, the agonizing cycle started all over again. And it continued, until finally he was able to confide in a team trainer who helped him get the professional treatment he needed. Diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Hirsch was able to embark on the rocky road to recovery. As one of the first professional athletes to talk openly about mental health, Hirsch wrote about his OCD for the Players' Tribune. His piece remains one of their most-read articles ever. As Hirsch says, "I am not insane. I am not a bad person. I am not weak. I have an illness, and there is a treatment.""--

Iron Mike : my life behind the bench / by Keenan, Mike,1949-author.; Messier, Mark,1961-writer of foreword.; Morrison, Scott,1958-author.;

"The must-read autobiography of one of the NHL's most controversial and successful coaches, winner of the 1994 Stanley Cup with the New York Rangers. In the fraternity of NHL coaches, some stand out for their winning records, some for their big personalities and some for their unprecedented methods. Mike Keenan stands out on all counts, and more. Breaking into the NHL as head coach of the Philadephia Flyers in 1984, Keenan got instant results. The Flyers hadn't won a playoff round in three seasons; he led them to the Cup Final in his first year. In 1987, he coached a fractious Team Canada to victory in the Canada Cup using a strategy few of his peers had to master: if your team doesn't get along, give them somebody to hate, together. Keenan instilled unity in his teams by making sure they all wanted to show him up. The wins took care of themselves. Keenan's teams won at every level. With championships in the OHL and AHL, it seemed only a matter of time before his resume would include the ultimate prize, and in typical Mike Keenan fashion he would win it on the grandest of stages. The NHL's most valuable franchise, the New York Rangers, hadn't won a Cup in 54 years. At the time, it was the league's longest championship drought. But with five-time Stanley Cup champion Mark Messier now captain of a star-studded Rangers lineup, there was only one thing missing for a championship run on Broadway: a coach who could focus all the talent and desire on victory. After a season of controversy and clashing egos, many of them involving the team's bedevilling new coach, in 1994 the Stanley Cup finally returned to Madison Square Garden, considered by many to be the greatest Cup win by a US-based NHL team. In the hands of veteran journalist and bestselling author Scott Morrison, Iron Mike takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most explosive runs to the Cup in NHL history, one that has never been told like Keenan at long last shares in this book. Fans also get their long-awaited chance to understand what one of hockey's greatest and most confounding coaches was up to. There is only one Iron Mike in hockey, and love him or hate him, his memoir is a must-read for any fan of the game."--

Home and away / by Sundin, Mats,1971-author.; Stuart, Amy,1975-author.;

"When Mats Sundin was selected first overall by the floundering Quebec Nordiques in 1989, few knew what to make of the selection. The franchise was struggling, finding themselves in last place with the first overall pick three times (Sundin, Owen Nolan, Eric Lindros). How could a Swede, thought to be soft thanks to the media at the time, lead one of hockey's worst franchises out of the shadows? Quebec never found out. Despite a few short stellar years in Quebec, the enigmatic Sundin was shipped off to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a deal that included former captain Wendel Clark. There, the tall, lanky, unpretentious, and warm European found himself immersed in the fiery cauldron of the Toronto faithful. How did Sundin feel about the trade? About his new city? About taking on the mantle of the captainship? The boy from outside Stockholm became a man in Toronto. Here, he shares for the first time what it was like for him to bounce from franchise to franchise until he found his new home with the Maple Leafs. Sundin grew into a superstar, and the humble hero became a fan favourite, always giving his time to the youngest in the crowd. He shares in these pages stories he's never told anyone about his life in hockey, about how the quiet and thoughtful centre became the nucleus of a Leafs team on the verge of a Stanley Cup final appearance that never came. But Sundin's leadership won over a tough team of stars and an even tougher group of fans to become one of the most popular Maple Leafs of all time. What really happened in the dressing room over the years? How did Sundin interact with teammates, foes, and family? What was it like to play with Tie Domi, Gary Roberts, Curtis Joseph, and others? How did he feel about being part of a team with such high expectations? How did he survive in an ecosphere of violence with his game full of finesse? What made Mats Sundin who he was on the ice, and the man he has now become? He talks for the first time about what it was like to leave Toronto for Vancouver and to return "home" to Toronto for the first time, illuminating his backstory and the new story of how he became the reluctant leader. Why did he wear the #13? (You'll have to read the book to find out.) What's it like to be a huge fish in a small pond in Stockholm after his stellar NHL career? What do his kids think of their dad and his success? Sundin tells all with equal amounts of class and humour."--
