Gloves Off: Mostly True Stories from My Life in Hockey by Behn Wilson > Likes and Comments

My new book about my NHL career was officially released this week. It's meant to be a fun read that takes you for a walk down memory lane if you're a long-time fan of professional hockey. In it, I share some of the most wild and interesting stories from my many years in the NHL--about the players I played with, payed against, and fought. The Kindle version will available for $1.99 during this initial week as a promotion. It's my honor to have the opportunity to share these memories, and to hopefully bring a smile to one or two faces. If one person gets a laugh of two out of it, my mission is accomplished. The offical book description is below.

Cheers,
Behn Wilson

The player never really leaves the game in professional hockey.

Nearly thirty years passed between the time Behn Wilson put on his first and last pair of skates, years spent pursuing an NHL career and then living the dream he made a reality.

First he played for the Philadelphia Flyers. Then Chicago was home when he joined the Blackhawks. Behn retired in 1988, but not before competing in the Stanley Cup Finals and NHL All-Star Game. Now, in Gloves Off, Behn shares the story of his career--the good, the bad, the exasperating, and the extraordinary. This is an insider's look at how the game was played in the 1980s, one of hockey's most pivotal decades. Read about Behn's experience in the pros, the players he called teammates, and the fights that became legendary.

Gloves Off is an exciting, inspirational journey through one man's career in a glorious--and often merciless--sport.

I hope you don't mind, but being a non-jock and more musically minded the first thing I thought of Stompin' Tom Connors and his Hockey Song. As a Canadian, I grew hearing about hockey, of course.
