Brodeur by Martin Brodeur,Damien Cox Pdf

The autobiography of hockey s mostcelebrated goalie Martin Brodeur is one of the most successful and decorated goalies in the National Hockey League and in international hockey, and among the greatest goalies of the modern era. Every time he steps on the ice as the goaltender of the New Jersey Devils, he either sets a new record or edges ever closer to some of the most prestigious netminding records in the history of the sport. A three-time Stanley cup champion, he is the only goalie in NHL history with 10 seasons of 30 wins or more, and in 2006 he set a new mark for consecutive playoff starts by an NHL goalie. The numbers speak for themselves, but what they cannot express is that Martin Brodeur is at the very heart and soul of the Devils, and one of the team's greatest leaders. And when Canada finally ended a 50-year gold medal drought at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, it was Brodeur who stood tall in the crease. In Brodeur: Beyond the Crease, the game's best netminder takes a candid, personal look at his career, his sport and his journey to the apex of the modern game, including updates from the 2006/2007 season.

Goaltenders' Union, The by Greg Oliver,Richard Kamchen Pdf

A fresh, comprehensive, and entertaining take on hockey goalies In hockey, goalies have always been a contradiction - solitary men in a team game, the last line of defence and the stalwarts expected to save the day after any and every miscue and collapse from his teammates. It's no wonder that anyone who played the position has had his sanity questioned; yet some of the biggest innovations in the game have come from its puckstoppers. In The Goaltenders' Union, Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen talk to more than 60 keepers of yesterday and today, finding common threads to their stories, and in dozens of interviews about them with other coaches and players. From Gilles "Gratoony the Loony" Gratton, who refused to play because the moon was out of alignment with Jupiter, to Jonathan Quick, the athletically gifted master keeper of today's game, the book is an entertaining and enlightening peek behind the mask.

Geyer Street Gardens by Paul John Hausleben Pdf

Geyer Street Gardens, is the fourth book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul and it is Paul John Hausleben's epic novel of a journey not only through the violent* sport of hockey but also of a journey through life. Jam-packed into well over 300 pages is hockey action both on the ice and off the ice, colorful hockey and life characters, humorous situations typical of Harry and Paul, sadness and sorrow and the joy of triumph in the sport and in life. Told through the eyes of a hockey goaltender, in the first person of the character of Paul John Henson, this novel brings the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions, from humor, to an inside look at what it is really like staring down one-hundred-mile per hour slapshots, to the details and descriptions of colorful characters in semi-professional ice hockey during the era of the 1970s and 1980s, to the joy of success. This novel is another story from the adventures of Harry M. Redmond Jr. and his best friend, Paul John Henson. Humorous, authentic, and emotional, Mr. Hausleben weaves a magical tale, while filling in many of the missing pieces in the timelines of his two famous characters. The novel also introduces many more popular characters, such as the famous hockey goon and immensely popular character of James T O'Malley. Geyer Street Gardens is a novel about much more than just the sport of hockey, it is also about how a sport shaped a young man's life, and in fact, his soul. Since the author actually was a semi-professional ice hockey goaltender during this era, and he played the position and met many of the people that spawned the inspiration for the characters, the novel is not only authentic; it is one of the few fiction novels ever written on the subject from an authentic viewpoint of a hockey goaltender. The book perfectly depicts what it was like to play hockey during the era, the challenges of acceptance for Americans in the predominantly Canadian sport and how dedication and determination, ultimately prevail in not only sports but in life. Hockey fan or not, or just a Harry and Paul fan, or just a reader of epic novels, you do not want to miss the view and the insight from beneath the goalie’s mask! Grab a copy today. As a bonus, the book includes pages of classic photography by the author, including current photographs of the actual sites depicted in the book, as well as vintage shots of hockey action and equipment. *This novel does contain mild adult language, as well as some violent and graphic descriptions of hockey and sports-related action and injuries.
