A quirky sports memoir

Canadian actor Jay Baruchel has always been extremely vocal about his love for the Montreal Canadiens: he proudly sports their team logo in interviews, has appeared in promo videos and was once given the title of honourary captain. In his debut memoir, he takes his fandom one step further, weaving together his most hilarious and nostalgic stories from his childhood in Montreal and his time spent living in Oshawa (enemy territory), where Leafs fans dominate. Baruchel brings the same heart and humour to his writing that he does to his acting, which makes this sports memoir equal parts entertaining, lighthearted and comedic.
