Future - Connor Bedard And The Chicago Blackhawks'' New Era

by Tab Bamford

~~15,86€~~ 14,27€ 10% OFF

 A fascinating, inside look at one of the most highly anticipated rookie seasons in NHL history When the Chicago Blackhawks selected Connor Bedard with the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft, it was the culmination of months— if not years— of unrestrained hype. For the Original Six franchise, nearly a decade removed from a dynastic run of Stanley Cup successes, Bedard represented nothing less than the foundation for future glory. The 17-year-old centre from North Vancouver had long been projected as a generational talent, tearing up the junior-level WHL and garnering comparisons to Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Now, it was time to compete head-to-head with those superstars and step into the lofty prophecies others had written for him. Through extensive reporting in Chicago and beyond, Tab Bamford chronicles one of the most highly anticipated rookie seasons in modern hockey, following Bedard''s Calder Trophy campaign on the ice and the pressurized environment that lingered off it. Encompassing exalted expectations, untimely injuries, countless highlight-reel goals, and the fevered, omnipresent media landscape, Bedard''s inaugural season provides a thrilling and expansive portrait of today''s NHL.

My Canadian Hockey Journey - Tales From A Career House Leaguer & Retired Hockey Dad

by Doran

11,91€ + 10% CARD

 Canadians love their hockey and it seems most of them have a hockey story or two to tell. In My Canadian Hockey Journey: Tales from a Career House Leaguer and Retired Hockey Dad, Ken Doran weaves the story of his days as a house league player, a road hockey "sensation" and, later, as an overly-obsessed hockey dad. He mentions the arena arseholes and bleacher buffoons he encountered in the rink, and he also pays homage to the amazing people who make minor hockey a positive experience for our kids. Most hockey books are written by NHL stars and hall-of-famers, yet the majority of Canadians have only played the game at the recreational level. This is where My Canadian Hockey Journey comes, in, to reveal and revile, and mostly to celebrate, what''s really going on in our local arenas.

Marian Hossa - My Journey From Trencín To The Hall Of Fame

by Marian Hossa e Scott Powers

15,86€ + 10% CARD

 A Stanley Cup champion and modern legend of the game, in his own words MariÁn Hossa''s life is a lesson in the value of determination and perseverance. Born into a hockey family that included his father, a former player and coach of the Slovakian national team, MariÁn and his brother, Marcel, quickly fell in love with the sport. Before long, they began to display the level of skill that could lead to a professional career. But the odds of reaching the NHL from TrenčÍn, a town of 50,000 people nestled among the mountains of Slovakia, remained long. Determined to follow their dreams, the Hossas persevered and were each eventually drafted in the first round. After some outstanding years in Ottawa and Atlanta, MariÁn moved on to Pittsburgh in 2008, where he helped lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit, a series his team lost. Prioritizing winning over dollars, Hossa signed with the Red Wings the following season, where he again reached the Final only to find heartbreak again, improbably against the team he had just left, the Penguins. It seemed that perhaps he would never raise Lord Stanley''s Cup above his head. But Hossa persevered, refusing to give in. In 2009, he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks, and played a key role in the team''s dynastic run the following decade, winning championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Then, yet another obstacle appeared in his path: an unusual and debilitating skin condition that compelled him to retire years before he''d planned. In this inspiring and entertaining autobiography, Hossa brings readers inside the dressing room, onto the celebratory team plane, and alongside one of hockey''s greatest stars as he makes the biggest decisions of his career. Also featuring photos from Hossa''s personal collection, this is an essential read for all hockey fans.

Discrimination In The Nhl - Quebec Hockey Players Sidelined

by Bob Sirois

17,85€ + 10% CARD

 Ever since Maurice Richard dazzled hockey fans in the 1940s and 1950s, fighting his way to hockey's summits, the issue of discrimination against Quebec hockey players has simmered on. Now an NHL veteran confirms that unless Quebec hockey players are superstars, they are less likely to be drafted than other players in Canada. Using statistics covering nearly 40 years, the discussion shatters tenacious myths such as those claiming that Quebecois players are physically smaller, play poor defensive hockey, and only serve as the best goalies. Looking for solutions, this account proposes a new NHL team for Quebec City and a Quebec national junior team for international events.
