Mike Babcock, head coach of the Detroit Red Wings and Team Canada's gold medal winning 2010 Olympic team, has penned his own book called Leave No Doubt: A Credo for Chasing Your Dreams Buy The Book: Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com Mike Babcock is a fascinating individual, in my opinion. Anyone who has followed his career knows that he has a certain set of values that govern not only his hockey team, but his life. Babcock now shares his credo, using the much celebrated 2010 Olympics as his storyline. The book does not quite know what it wants to be. It's partly and Olympic diary, but it only hints at what could have been a truly fascinating inside look for hockey fans.

A revealing look at the issues and controversies of grassroots level hockey, including everything from children developing life skills to the thrill of playing for the love of the game to high financial obligations, the dangers of hazing rituals, "crazy" hockey parents, and the sometimes too-strong desire for kids to play in the NHL. It features one Saskatchewan hockey family's experience, and the growth that the father undergoes as he learns from his mistakes from being a too-involved hockey parent to understanding that hockey is a game that should be enjoyed not pursued as a career by pre-teen children, a message that parents of all athletes can understand. This fictional account is an interesting take on minor hockey and minor sports in general. Every parent is guilty, to some degree, of taking their child's athletics too seriously. Some are involved way too much, others lapse in the heat of a big play. So most adults will likely find a little of themselves...
