From hockey insider Jim Lang comes a new volume in the nationally bestselling series of uplifting hockey stories about the everyday heroes who are breaking down barriers and shaping the future of a game they love.
In this heartfelt collection of personal hockey stories, sports broadcaster and author Jim Lang brings together the remarkable voices of hockey players, coaches, families, and fans who have overcome adversity and are championing the game they love—on and off the ice.
Read about former Humboldt Broncos defenceman Logan Boulet, whose selfless organ donation helped six Canadians and motivated almost 150,000 people to register as donors in the following weeks. Meet players like Kelly Serbu, who didn’t let his visual impairment stop him from playing hockey and is now raising awareness and funds for blind hockey programs, or Kim McCullough, who founded Total Female Hockey to empower other aspiring female players. Follow players and coaches of colour such as Jim Paek and Jason Payne who are helping to break down barriers, and the hockey parents who are working to make the game more accessible. These are the everyday heroes who are defying the odds and inspiring change.
Featuring extraordinary stories of tireless advocates and unbelievable successes, Everyday Hockey Heroes, Volume III is a celebration of the great game of hockey and the heroes—sung and unsung—found on rinks and in arenas across the country.
“This is a really great idea. It is such a unique collection of stories of where hockey is now, and where it is going in the future.”
— KEVIN WEEKES, former NHL goaltender and broadcaster on Hockey Night in Canada, now at ESPN
“The game of hockey is amazing, especially today’s game with the skill and speed and athleticism of athletes, but the sport has never been only about the speed and skill; it is also about the human connection and the humanity that is inspired in so many of us to give back in different ways and to tell our story as seen through our eyes. The stories compiled here tell the tale about so much more than just the game of hockey but for many their story of the life of hockey.”
— KEITH PRIMEAU, former NHL forward (from his foreword)
“If the Stanley Cup could talk, it would have so many stories to tell, and Jim Lang has collected many of them in this book.”
— RAY BOURQUE, award-winning former professional hockey player and Olympian
