Summary:
"
Larry
Robinson
spent 20 seasons playing in the NHL -- seventeen with the Montreal Canadiens and retiring from the game after his final 3 seasons with the LA Kings. His great size gave his teams an incredible presence on the blue line and a tremendous defender in front of their net. But he was more than just big. He was agile, he could score and he played a style that provided both offensive and defensive strengths. For his effort,
Robinson
was twice recognized as the NHL's top defencemen and his contribution helped the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup six times during his tenure with the team. Never afraid to drop his gloves and play a physical game,
Robinson
is and will forever be regarded as one of the NHL's greatest defencemen.
Robinson
relives his road to the NHL and the unexpected NHL journey that has lasted over 4 decades. He has enjoyed the good fortune of playing with greats, including Ken Dryden and Guy Lafleur to coaching the greatest of all--Wayne Gretzky. His successes as a player and coach are well-documented, and will leave readers cheering for the man fondly nicknamed "Big Bird."
Larry
Robinson
is currently the Associate Coach of the San Jose Sharks. He hung up his skates after having won 6 Stanley Cups, then went on to coach with the Los Angeles Kings, and then coached the NJ Devils to a Stanley Cup Championship before joining the Sharks in the summer of 2013. This Norris Trophy winner is widely regarded as one of the greatest defencemen to ever play in the NHL. He was born in Marvelville, a farming community in the Ottawa Valley"--Provided by publisher.
