Book Synopsis Hockey, Heroes and Me by : Red Fisher
Download or read book Hockey, Heroes and Me written by Red Fisher and published by . This book was released on 1996-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few writers know professional sports, especially hockey and especially the Montreal Canadiens, better than Red Fisher. Starting with the now-defunct Montreal Star, then moving to the Gazette, Fisher has covered the many ups and occasional downs of the mighty Habs for close to forty of his sixty-eight years. In fact, his first major assignment in hockey occurred on St. Patrick's Day, 1955 - the night of the infamous "Richard Riot" at the Montreal Forum. That story, among many others, is vividly rendered on the pages of Hockey, Heroes, and Me, Red Fisher's long-awaited memoirs. It's an affectionate, sometimes irreverent, occasionally angry, often hilarious remembrance of days past from someone who seems to have known everyone and seen everything. Rich in anecdote, shrewd in observation, this book is studded with the names and the exploits of the famous, from Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, and "Boom-Boom" Geoffrion to Don Cherry, Glen Sather, Scotty Bowman, and Wayne Gretzky. At the same time, these memoirs aren't exclusively about hockey. Here you'll find stories about Red's encounters with boxing stars Archie Moore and Floyd Patterson, and the Expos' first manager, baseball's Gene Mauch. There's also a tribute to Montreal's highflying wrestling and boxing promoter, the outrageous Eddie Quinn, as well as a loving remembrance of Miss Hecht, Red's grade seven teacher. There are poignant moments as well. A salute to the late, illustrious broadcaster Danny Gallivan, famous across Canada as "the voice of the Canadiens". A visit to an extended-care home to see Toe Blake, the man who coached the Canadiens to a record eight Stanley Cups in thirteen seasons but who now lives "locked in the terrible visethat is Alzheimer's". Scoops and "inside" stories abound, of course. There's the revelation that Fisher knew of the famous Wayne Gretzky trade of 1988 months before it occurred but was put off the trail by the adroit stickhandling of Oilers coach Glen Sather and team owner Peter Pocklington. There's the story of how Red helped pave the way for Phil Esposito's astonishing move to the Boston Bruins from Chicago in 1967. You'll see how Red was able to beat virtually every other reporter to the shocking Guy Lafleur resignation story of 1984.

Download or read book Ken Reid's Hometown Hockey Heroes written by Ken Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sportsnet Central host and broadcaster Ken Reid comes an inspiring and entertaining new collection of hockey stories about local legends who define the game and its values. In many communities across Canada, hockey lives in the nearby arenas and leagues that forge both decades-long rivalries and unbreakable friendships. Fans show up to cheer not for distant NHL superstars, but for the homegrown heroes who define their town. These players don’t always make it to the big leagues, but they inevitably become legends. In this entertaining collection, Canadian broadcaster and Sportsnet Central host Ken Reid tells their uplifting stories, from Pictou, Nova Scotia, to Kimberley, British Columbia—and everywhere in between. There’s Robbie Forbes, who arrived in Newfoundland in the mid-eighties still dreaming of the pros and ended up giving the town a dream of its own when he led the Corner Brook Royals to a Canadian Senior Hockey title. He also happens to be Sidney Crosby’s uncle. In a legendary Ontario community, the name Paul Polillo is spoken in the same reverential breath as Wayne Gretzky in their shared hometown of Brantford. There’s also the tragic story of George Pelawa, who may have been the inspiration for Tom Cochrane & Red Rider’s famous song “Big League.” And Tyson Wuttunee, an Indigenous player in Saskatchewan who, through hockey, found the family and home he’d always longed for. Featuring heartwarming stories of grit, leadership, and lifelong bonds, Ken Reid’s Hometown Hockey Heroes celebrates how hockey, and the values the game teaches, can shape our communities for the better.
