A Great Goalie & An Even Better Human Being

It's no surprise that Johnny Bower is beloved in Toronto. If you've ever met him, or seen him interviewed or read this wonderful book, you know why people all love Mr. Bower. His success story as a longtime hockey goalie, many years in the minors and then an amazing run in the NHL, is one thing but even better is to find a person whom nobody has a bad word about. It's no cliche, at least here with Johnny Bower. Everyone has always loved the guy whether they were teammates or opponents. You can find out why that's the case with this book co-written by Bower and veteran hockey writer Bob Duff. This is a nice book, with no profanity and no hard edge to it, yet interesting all the way. Wherever you are you can put the book down and feel good about what you've read, and want to read more. That's kind of a nice thing to have.
