99 STORIES OF THE GAME

- Wayne Gretzky with Kirstie McLellan Day Penguin Random House Canada

In an interview with Postmedia, the Edmonton Oilers legend was asked what he hoped readers would take away from this book, which was written to mark the 99th anniversar­y of the NHL. His answer? “This was just an opportunit­y for me to write about how wonderful and beautiful this game truly is. I just want people to realize how great of a game hockey is.” The target audience for this book no doubt knows how great the game is. What makes this book worth reading is the fact it’s filled with the thoughts and memories of the greatest player the game has ever seen.
