The series : what I remember, what it felt like, what it feels like now / by Dryden, Ken,1947-author.;
"A new book by Hall of Fame goalie and bestselling author Ken Dryden celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series. SEPTEMBER 2, 1972, MONTREAL FORUM, GAME ONE: The best against the best for the first time. Canada, the country that had created the game; the Soviet Union, having taken it up only twenty-six years earlier. On the line: more than the players, more than the fans, more than Canadians and Russians knew. So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game--on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country--the nation stopped. Of Canada's 22 million people, 16 million watched. Three thousand more were there, in Moscow, behind the Iron Curtain, singing--Da da, Ka-na-da, nyet, nyet, So-vi-yet! It is a story long told, often told. But never like this. Ken Dryden, a goalie in the series, a lifetime observer, later a writer, tells the story in "you are there" style, as if he is living it for the first time. As if you, the reader, are too. The series, as it turned out, is the most important moment in hockey history, changing the game, on the ice and off, everywhere in the world. As it turned out, it is one of the most significant events in all of Canada's history. Through Ken Dryden's words, we understand why."--

"Broadcasting icon Don Cherry is back to give fans more of what they want: behind-the-scenes access to hockey's greatest heroes. For the last sixty years, Don Cherry has lived and breathed hockey--and his memories of the sport's biggest stars are just as colorful as his wardrobe. Before "Coach's Corner," Don Cherry hosted Grapevine TV, where he interviewed the biggest names in sports. During his decade on the show, not a single player turned him down for an interview, and in this new book, readers will reap the benefits of that unparalleled insider access. Fans got a taste of Don's Grapevine days in his last book, but Don Cherry's Hockey Greats and More dives even deeper into the world of sports, with more unforgettable and revealing interviews with the most legendary players. Travel with Don to hear Guy Lafleur's response to his most famous goal, Don's take on coaching Phil Esposito through a rough year, and what Cam Neely thinks of the shot that ended his career. Meet Pat Burns and Joe Crozier up close and personal; hockey, baseball and boxing's all-time greats; and even a jockey or two. This is Don Cherry in all his hilarious and frank glory, spinning his yarns with the best of them."--

Auston Matthews : a life in hockey / by McGran, Kevin,author.;
"For those growing up in the American southwest, playing football, basketball, and baseball are the stuff of childhood dreams. For Auston Matthews, however, the unlikeliest of desert sports -- ice hockey -- captured his imagination. From the first time he watched professional players when he could barely stand up on skates himself, he was completely mesmerized by the speed and action on the ice. No one could have predicted his unorthodox journey to the NHL, from Arizona to Switzerland to Toronto. The first pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft, Matthews is quite simply a scoring phenom. It's almost as if he can't not score. In his first NHL game he scored a record four goals against the Leafs' mortal enemies, the Ottawa Senators. He's been scoring at a torrid pace ever since, breaking records as he blasts pucks past startled goalies. The red light has become his good friend, a beacon to the success of one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the league. What he wants more than any scoring record, however, is a championship win, something all Leafs' fans have pleaded for since their last Stanley Cup win in 1967. Veteran sports reporter Kevin McGran, who covers the Leafs for The Toronto Star, talks to Matthews just about every day in the dressing room and at practices. McGran has spoken to dozens of Matthews's coaches, rivals, friends, teammates, and others in Auston Matthews, the first book about the sometimes enigmatic star of hockey's most storied franchise"--
