Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of this continent’s master craftsmen of sporting prose” (Sports Illustrated) and three-time National Magazine Award-winner Gare Joyce goes undercover to learn the secrets of NHL scouts. Veteran sports writer Gare Joyce realizes a long-held secret ambition as he spends a full season embedded as a hockey scout. Joyce’s year on the hockey beat is a steep learning curve for him; NHL scouts spend each season gathering information on players fighting it out to break into the world of professional hockey. They watch hundreds of games, speak to scores of players, parents, team-mates and other scouts, amassing profiles on all the top contenders. It’s a form of risk assessment–is this young hopeful deserving of a multi-million dollar contract?–and it can be a tough and thankless task. Scouts are ground into the game, picking up nuances of play that even the most committed fan would miss, but they are looking at more than just how well a kid can play. And come the final draft, only a tiny percentage of their full year’s work might matter. Examining the amount of information gathered on the under-eighteen hopefuls, the scrutiny to which they are subjected, and the differences between the rigour of American and Canadian junior teams, Joyce opens a window on the life and methods of an NHL scout and penetrates the mysterious world of scouting as no one has before.

Download or read book Money Players written by Bruce Dowbiggin and published by MacFarlane Walter & Ross. This book was released on 2003 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incredibly, the legacy of one-time hockey czar Alan Eagleson still poisons professional hockey. The generation of players that "the Eagle" systematically abused, misled, and defrauded continues to take its revenge on his successors. When a former Boston player, Mike Gillis, suffered a career-ending injury, Eagleson, his agent, bilked him out of some $40,000 in insurance money. Gillis sued and won. What Gillis learned from the episode is that players need hard-nosed and honest representation and that no quarter needs to be given in encounters with the good old boys who run the game. Gillis is an agent now - one of the best. The players he and other trained agents represent routinely get contracts worth tens of millions of dollars. Over the past ten years, the NHL's payroll has shot up from nearly $200 million to more than $1 billion. Around 350 players make more than a million dollars per annum. And the league's owners are crying the blues. But these owners often buy up sports teams for reasons of ego and for kicks. And the general managers often are former players who like to shoot the breeze with old friends and do deals on the strength of a handshake. Neither is a match for the new breed of agent or for the players' association president Bob Goodenow. Something's got to give. Bruce Dowbiggin's eye-opening report takes readers from the locker rooms to the board rooms. His inside view makes sense of the seemingly crazy labour conflict that is about to batter the NHL.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the inspirational story of Sidney Crosby In Sidney Crosby: A Biography of One of Hockey's Greatest Players you will learn about the life, professional career, and accomplishments of Sidney Crosby. In this biography you will read about Sidney Crosby's incredible life story. Crosby is currently among the most dominant players in the NHL. The former first-round draft pick has made a huge impact on professional hockey as a center for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not only has he been the NHL MVP, but he has also led his team to a Stanley Cup championship. Crosby's talent was apparent early in his life when he played for the Cole Harbour Red Wings and the Rimouski Oceanic. Since entering the NHL, he has consistently been among the league's leading scorers. Sidney Crosby's career has not been without bumps in the road. He has dealt with various injuries and a concussion. Despite this, he continues to be a leader for the Penguins, as well as Team Canada. Read this biography to gain insight on the career, rivalries, and personal life of this hockey great. Here is a preview of this biography: Harbours and Castles To the World Stage To the Pros The Road to the Stanley Cup The Golden Goal Concussion and Aftermath Back to the Best 2014-15 to the Present Here is an excerpt from the book: With his growing résumé, Sidney Crosby had become the poster boy for the NHL. He was the most recognizable hockey player in the world. In an interview in Calgary in 2010, he was asked how he spends his time in a city where he's so recognized. Crosby laughed and said he mostly stayed in his room and definitely didn't go shopping. Crosby has been humble throughout his career and it really shone through in this interview. It's important to remember that Sid the Kid had been in the spotlight since he was a real kid, since before he was a teenager. A lot of child stars don't learn how to deal with the spotlight and they develop a warped sense of what the world is like and what their place in it is. Not Sidney Crosby. He says that, in the age of camera phones and very little privacy, he has to remember that that's all he's ever known, and he must learn to live and deal with it. That's a lot of hiding in hotel rooms; but it's the price you pay when you're the best hockey player in the world. Perhaps the more difficult part is what happens when you fall out of the spotlight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Played on frozen ponds in cold northern lands, hockey seemed an especially unlikely game to gain a global following. But from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, the sport has drawn from different cultures and crossed boundaries––between Canada and the United States, across the Atlantic, and among different regions of Europe. It has been a political flashpoint within countries and internationally. And it has given rise to far-reaching cultural changes and firmly held traditions. The Fastest Game in the World is a global history of a global sport, drawing upon research conducted around the world in a variety of languages. From Canadian prairies to Swiss mountain resorts, Soviet housing blocks to American suburbs, Bruce Berglund takes readers on an international tour, seamlessly weaving in hockey’s local, national, and international trends. Written in a lively style with wide-ranging breadth and attention to telling detail, The Fastest Game in the World will thrill both the lifelong fan and anyone who is curious about how games intertwine with politics, economics, and culture.
