Description
'Olczyk, with Toronto Sun journalist Lefko, presents a gripping account of his remarkable life, from
his selection for the 1984 U.S. Olympic Hockey team through his remarkable battle with colon
cancer. Olczyk, now a sportscaster for NHL and NBC, takes readers through his life and career
with insights from coaches, teammates, and family members (after being traded to the Winnipeg
Jets in 1999, his mother said in frustration, “Youâ€re just a piece of meat―). Without being
self-aggrandizing or boastful, Olcyzk draws readers through the ins and outs of professional
sports, from the anxiety of trades to the complexities of victory: in recounting his journey of the
1994 Stanley Cup champion New York Rangers, he notes that he was able to celebrate “a
dream that every player has from the time they begin to play the game― while combatting a
personal decline that “tested my resolve.― While Olczyk discusses the joys of his post-playing
career nimbly, itâ€s his unflinching account of his battle with cancer that truly stands out (in the
afterword, his children tell their stories about living with their father through these hard times).
Though an obvious must-read for hockey fans, this inspired account of a man battling cancer will
appeal to a wider audience, as well.' —Publishers Weekly Eddie Olczyk is an award-winning
television commentator on NBCâ€s coverage of the NHL and thoroughbred horse racing, and
