Summary:
"A poignant and inspiring memoir of the people and challenges that shaped the life and career of Canada's most decorated Indigenous athlete. Over the course of his incredible career, Bryan Trottier set a new standard of hockey excellence. A seven-time Stanley Cup champion, Trottier won countless awards and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In 2017, he was named one of the NHL's Top 100 Players of All Time. Trottier grew up in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, the son of a Cree father and an Irish-Canadian mother. Although a gifted athlete from a young age, Trottier was not immune to the sting of racism, but his mother always made sure that he was proud of his Indigenous heritage. All Roads Home is not just a hockey book. Rather, it is a poignant, funny, wise, and inspiring look at a life lived through the lens of hockey. It is a unique memoir in which Trottier shares stories about family, friends, teammates, and coaches, the lessons that he has learned from them, and the profound impact they have had in shaping the person he has become. The book will look at all aspects of Trottier's life, from the incredible highs (life growing up on the farm and the importance of family and tradition; championship glory with the Islanders) to the challenges (being released from the Islanders; adjusting to life after hockey; post-playing financial struggles; depression). Some of the incredible characters featured in the book include Trottier's father Buzz; legendary Islander coach Al Arbour; teammates Clark Gillies and Mike Bossy; and close friend and former teammate Mario Lemieux, to name but a few. He'll also talk about the high school English teacher and guidance counsellor who helped him develop self-confidence and encouraged him as a writer: our very own Lorna Crozier."--Publisher.
