Fantastic book.  

I put off reading this book because I don't really care about hockey.  Reading a book centered on sports, any sport, is not my jam.  But this book isn't really about hockey. 

A difficult read, but a fantastic read.  Highly recommend.  But buckle up.  It's a ride, and at times, a rough, heart wrenching one.
