"Looking back on his career, Darren McCarty recounts his time as a member of the Detroit Red Wings as well as his personal struggles with addiction, finances, and women. McCarty grew up in the small town of Leamington, Ontario, and played for the Southpoint Capitals (OMHA) minor teams. Later, with the Detroit Red Wings, McCarty played the role of enforcer from 1993 to 2004 and returning again in 2008 and 2009. His "Grind Line" with teammates Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby physically overmatched some of the best offensive lines in the NHL, but he was more than just a brawler, scoring 127 career goals. As colorful a character as any NHL player, he has arms adorned with tattoos, and he was the lead singer in the hard rock band Grinder during the offseason. This autobiography details the way he has dealt with his struggles in life off the ice: substance abuse, bankruptcy, divorce and the death of his father"--From publisher.
