Summary:
Canadian hockey broadcaster Brian McFarlane recounts his life in hockey.
"It's been 85 years since Brian McFarlane first laced a pair of skates and tested the black ice on a tiny pond. And then he discovered the joy of hockey. Ultimately, there would be grade school hockey, high school hockey, junior hockey, college hockey, and, miraculously, two decades with the NHL Oldtimers anchoring his life. He was the rank amateur playing on a line with the Big M and Norm Ullman, facing off against icons like Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay at Maple Leaf Gardens -- even scoring a goal. He suited up at the Montreal Forum, elbow to elbow against John Ferguson, before thousands of fans. (There was even a stint with the Flying Fathers who ordained him a "Bishop" after a hat trick.) Off the ice, in 1960, MacFarlane was the first Canadian to be a commentator on CBS's coverage of the NHL. He also survived 25 years of Hockey Night in Canada -- despite confrontations with Punch Imlach, Harold Ballard, Bobby Hull, and Eddie Shack. Now, in this revealing autobiography, he remembers it all. For Brian McFarlane, it has been a helluva life in hockey."--From publisher.
