99: STORIES OF THE GAME - Wayne Gretzky, Kirstie McLellan Day

~ Standard Hardcover

Wayne Gretzky (one of the greatest sports figures of all time) salutes his heroes and takes us inside the game as few others can to mark the NHL's Ninety-Ninth Anniversary by writing 99 Stories of the Game, a collection that illuminates both the history and the cultural significance of 'Our' game.

Written with all the insight of someone who knows what it feels like when your lungs burn at the end of a long shift, and the pain of bruises at the end of a long playoff series, who knows what it feels like to fall short against a bitter rival, and also the incomparable feeling of lifting the Stanley Cup over your head, 99: Stories of the Game doesn't just tell the history of the NHL's 99 years.  It relives them!
