DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Even in the hockey world, goaltender Seamus Kotyk is not a household name. But for every huge star in the NHL, there are a hundred other guys trying to scrape a living out of the sport they love, without the benefit of huge contracts, lucrative endorsement deals, or the status that playing on an up-market team in the NHL brings. This is the unseen side of the world of professional hockey, where the weekly threat of being traded or sent down to a lower league is a fact of life, you take whatever you're given, and you start to think, hey, maybe playing in Jesenice, Slovenia wouldn't be so bad after all? Luckily, these kinds of things build character. Especially things like: Having your heart give out on you while playing in a junior-league game Having an irate General Manager attempt to sell you your own gear When the GM of your team is replaced by the hard-drinking President of the team's fan club Breaking 2 fingers in a goalie vs. goalie fight and being told you'll still play if you want to get paid Armed with honesty, insight, and a sense of humour, Kotyk's pro hockey career has led him through a Memorial Cup with the Ottawa 67s, seen him cycle through the San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, and Minnesota Wild organizations, and a successful-if trying-4 years in Europe before joining the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds as goalie coach. His writing partner, James Cybulski, is a TV personality on TSN, The Sports Network, and is the host of the drive-time talk show "Cybulski & Company" on TSN Radio. This is a true underdog story in a world of hockey rarely seen beyond the bright lights of the NHL.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →More than twenty years after departing Hartford, Connecticut, for Raleigh, North Carolina, the NHL's Whalers continue to inspire passion among fans. As HartfordBusiness.com reported in 2015, "Whalers merchandise...still has a cult following not only among fans in Connecticut but around the country." But Whalers devotees aren't just clamoring for jerseys, hats and t-shirts. They're nostalgic for a team that had New England roots for nearly 25 years--in Boston, Springfield, and Hartford--and featured some of the greatest players in NHL history, including Gordie Howe (with his sons Mark and Marty), Bobby Hull, and Ron Francis. Pat Pickens’s book details the Whalers’ origin in Boston in 1972, the team’s WHA championship in 1973, the roof collapse of their home arena that indirectly led to their entrance to the NHL in 1979, their stunning NHL playoff-series win against the top-seeded Quebec Nordiques in 1986, the 1986-87 season when they claimed their first division championship, and their relocation south in 1997 as the Carolina Hurricanes. Pickens imagines a Stanley Cup delivered to hockey-crazed Hartford in 2006, when the Hurricanes instead brought it home to North Carolina. The book also explores the likelihood of an NHL team returning to the Nutmeg State.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →It’s goalie vs. goalie in this enemies-to-lovers hockey romance. Ryu Mori has had a stellar season as goalie for the Atlanta Venom. So when he’s called into management’s office, he’s expecting to hear he’s the new starting goalie for the team, not that some new guy—an incredibly hot, annoyingly bratty rookie—is here to compete for his spot. Not everyone gets to play in the best league in the world. Emmitt Armstrong knows that, and he’s not about to waste the opportunity after grinding his way from the bottom to the top. If the Venom are looking for a meek, mild-mannered pushover, they’ve got the wrong guy. Ryu doesn’t want to admit the other goalie’s smart mouth turns him on. Beating Armstrong at practice feels good, sure, but there are other, more fun ways to shut his rival up. In this league, it’s winner takes all. But there’s more to life than winning, and if Emmitt and Ryu can get past their egos and competitive natures, they might just discover they work better as partners than they ever imagined possible.
