A GREAT LOOK AT A LEGEND

THIS IS THE STORY OF MAURICE RICHARD FORMER NHL GREAT. THE STORY IS VERY SHORT SIMPLE AND VERY EASY TO READ. I REALLY ENJOYED READING OF THE ROCKET'S NUMEROUS HEROICS AND ALSO A BIT OF HIS FAMILY LIFE. THE BOOK IS LOADED WITH MANY GREAT PHOTOS OF MAURICE ON AND OFF THE ICE. I SUGGEST THIS BOOK FOR ALL CANADIAN FANS AND FOR THE NOSTALGIC HOCKEY FAN. A MUST READ.

Remembering the Rocket's Red Glare

This spicy little book of collected essays on one of the greatest hockey players ever belongs on any true hockey fan's bookshelf. The Rocket was more than just a man, or a hockey player. He was an institution, as evidenced by the recent state funeral for our lost hockey great. The Rocket harkens back to a day when the fighting spirit of a single player could enliven the hearts and minds of a generation of fans. First-rate!
