About This Item
An unmarked copy-" The story of Terry Sawchuk far transcends the game of hockey. His accomplishments during the Original Six era are legendary -- several of his goaltending records still stand after more than 30 years. But beyond the NHL arenas and dressing rooms, he was a brooding, violent man who chose to hide from the world. Sawchuk competed against the elite players of his day with an incomparable passion and was glorious in pursuit of the Stanley Cup. At home, meanwhile, his wife and children knew him as an alcoholic and womanizer. Sometimes Sawchuk's brilliance shone through to his home life, but mostly his family lived in the volatile goaltender's dangerous shadow. -Now for the first time, David Dupuis has unraveled the mystery surrounding the life and death of the world-famous goaltender. Dupuis gives us the play by play of Sawchuk's extraordinary on-ice performances, alongside teammates such as Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Ted Lindsay, and Marcel Pronovost, and of his famous run-ins with managers Jack Adams and Milt Schmidt. And, he focuses on his tortured personal life, illuminating the darker side of a brilliant athlete."
