Catch 22 : my battles, in hockey and life / Rick Vaive and Scott Morrison. by Vaive, Rick, 1959- Random House Canada, 2020. Call #: 796.962092 V132c Subjects Vaive, Rick, 1959-   Hockey players -- Canada -- Biography. ISBN:  9780735280298 (hc.) Alternate title:  Catch twenty two : my battles, in hockey and life Description:  xvi, 255 p., 8 unnumbered pages of plates : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "The Toronto Maple Leafs captain and goal-scoring great sets the record straight. While Rick Vaive established the goal-scoring standard for his storied NHL franchise, his accomplishment was overshadowed by a team that just couldn't win. Made captain at the young age of 22, Vaive was facing though times with Harold Ballard's Leafs. But then he became the first 50-goal scorer in team history. He scored 50 the next season, too, and then once more. Only two Leafs have scored 50 since, and none have equaled Vaive's 54 in 1981-82. His number 22 should stand taller in team lore. Why doesn't it? In his revealing authobiography, written with award-winning sportswriter Scott Morrison, Rick Vaive tells the story of a life that seemed destined to undercut its own potential. A teenage hockey star who sought refuge in the company of his grandmother and severely disabled uncle, Rick inevitably adopted the family curse; mixed with undiagnosed anxiety, Vaive's alcoholism weighed on his career. While he battled on the ice in Toronto - as well as Vancouver, Chicago and Buffalo - he battled his demons away from the rink until his playing career ended in frustration. Sobriety led him to success as a coach, and then alcoholism struck back with a vengeance in the years following his term as head coach of the Don Cherry-owned Mississauga Ice Dogs of the OHL. A man could resent a life that brought him so close to enduring fame then left him on the edge of the limelight. But as this hockey great learned the hard way, life is too sweet for regrets, even if learning that lesson can be one hell of a ride."--Jacket. Genre:  Autobiographies.
