Could be Net Worth by David Cruise.

There's also a decent account of it in Money Players by Bruce Dowbiggin. Good read.

perhaps it's the book "money players" or "Game Misconduct: Alan Eagleson and the Corruption of Hockey" by Conway.

Are there any books out there that give a summary or history of every Stanley Cup Final? Kind of like how The Ultimate Super Bowl Book covers each super bowl? I'm looking for something that covers the history of the game over the years, particularly with the championship teams.

Net worth is a very good book. YOu may be thinking of that. It talks about the rise and fall of Alan Eagleson and the NHLPA..

Coach told my son he might make him captain of his peewee team this year. I'd love to find a book or two for him written by or about players who were great captains to get him thinking about the role and how to aspire to play it well. Any ideas?

Was trying to find a series of books I read as a kid back in the late 70s or early 80s. Was about a player trying to make it on to the st. Louis blues and followed him to the Stanley cup finals f memory serves. Anyone remember those?

Slap Shot Original by Dave Hanson with Ross Bernstein

Many think the 1970s cult classic movie Slap Shot is as synonymous with hockey as Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe and hockey fights. It is mandatory viewing for any hockey fan. And many fans have, since, believe it or not, Slap Shot is the second most rented movie ever. Slap Shot looked at the rough and tumble world of minor league hockey in unforgettable fashion, often using an explosive cocktail of glorified violence and crazy humour. The adventures and hijinks of the Charlestown Chiefs has spun off two sequels, Breaking the Ice in 2002, and Slap Shot 3: The Junior League , just released directly to DVD.

The lovable, entertaining, violent, and bespectacled Hansons were loosely based on three actual hockey playing brothers - Steve, Jeff and Jack Carlson. Jeff and Steve actually play Jeff and Steve Hanson in the movie. Jack Carlson could n...
