THE CRAIN CHRONICLES: A MEMOIR
The Crain One Man's Playbook For Fatherhood, Teamwork and Community is a legacy project for his two boys, Linden and Nolan.
From early mornings at the rink to late nights cheering from the stands, his love for hockey has never wavered. As a boy, the sport taught him discipline, resilience, and camaraderie. As a man, it gave him purpose and a platform to lead-not just as a scout or coach, but as co-owner of the Amherstburg Admirals, a team that represents the spirit of small-town pride and perseverance.
But his proudest role is not found on the ice-it's found at home. As a devoted father, he shares stories of triumphs and trials, laughter and lessons, giving his boys a glimpse not only into his life, but the lives of generations before him. Through his journey, readers witness the power of showing up, leading with heart, and finding meaning in every face-off life throws his way. This memoir is a testament to fatherhood, teamwork, and the enduring bonds forged with family.

The onion is now peeled
I have had some conversations with Greg about this book. Let's say I wasn't expecting this.
In reading this, Greg has accomplished his goal in "peeling the onion" for his boys.
Well written.
Greg and I meet for coffee every couple of months. I'll see if he wants to do "sushi" instead of coffee?
