Ratings and reviews

Jeremy Roenick is an egotistical blowhard and this book is nothing but a puff piece.

This book is a great look into the triumph, troubles, and hardships of an amazing US born NHL star.

Great view of what life and the locker room is like, along with the mentality that is required to play in the NHL.
