The Power Of Two 
One of the most compelling figures ever to lace on a pair of skates, Carl Brewer was a gifted skater and stickhandler, renowned for his ability to control the pace of a game and to goad opponents into costly errors. His talents made him an NHL all-star and one of the cornerstones of a Toronto Maple Leaf dynasty. But he was also a loner playing a team game, a free spirit in an era when players were expected not to make waves. Teammates and management alike wrote him off as an eccentric, an enigma. At what should have been the peak of his career, he abandoned the game, embarking on a lifelong search for meaning in his life. Along the way he met Susan Foster, and together they would discover that purpose. The Power Of Two tells the story of how Carl and Susan successfully battled the hockey establishment over the issue of player pensions. Together they uncovered fraud, corruption and betrayal of trust, ultimately helping bring down the powerful Alan Eagleson. The Power of Two also provides intimate insights into Brewer, who was aptly remembered as a "magnificent, misunderstood fanatic," and his enduring bond with the life partner and ally whose tireless support he depended on.

World of Hockey is a celebration of the game and its growth, from the early days when Canadas amateur teams routinely won by scores of 30-0 to a game in which many nations can win Olympic gold and many more compete at a high level. It is a book that traces the development of the game and its players as well as the IIHF itself. It shows a game that started as men only but now includes a full womens program in which more than two dozen nations compete every year at a variety of levels. The book is accompanied by an appendix including all results and rosters from the 72 world championships played to date.
