Martin Brodeur: pour tout dire
Par Martin Brodeur. 2017
"En février 2002, lors des Jeux olympiques de Salt Lake City, Martin Brodeur, gardien de but de l'équipe canadienne de…
hockey, a ajouté une médaille d'or à son palmarès qui comptait déjà deux coupes Stanley remportées avec les Devils du New Jersey. Denis et Martin Brodeur sont ainsi devenus le premier tandem père-fils gardiens de but à avoir remporté une médaille aux Jeux olympiques. Denis Brodeur avait en effet raflé la médaille de bronze lors des jeux de 1956, en Italie.

Par Michel Roy. 2007
...] Michel Roy, père de la grande vedette, livre un témoignage sur la passion du hockey, le désir de gagner…
et la capacité de concentration qui ont fait la force de son fils. Mais c'est aussi sans complaisance et sans tricherie qu'il lève le voile sur les bévues, les défauts et les problèmes du célèbre gardien. Il relate notamment l'épreuve déchirante du départ de Montréal, qui a failli briser Patrick Roy. Cette biographie fait vivre le parcours de celui qui a révolutionné le métier de gardien de but. De plus, elle traite des enjeux actuels du monde du hockey : l'art de garder les buts, le développement du style papillon, l'équilibre sport-études, la violence, la pression médiatique et le culte de la vedette. La biographie Le Guerrier se lit comme un roman. [...] -- 4e de couv"La LNH, un rêve possible retrace le parcours dans le hockey mineur de huit joueurs professionnels francophones : Steve Bégin,…
Martin Brodeur, Francis Bouillon, Simon Gagné, Ian Laperrière, Vincent Lecavalier, Roberto Luongo et André Roy. Cet ouvrage vise à aider les jeunes - et leurs parents - à mieux comprendre les embûches qui jalonnent la "carrière" d'un jeune hockeyeur. A partir de témoignages de parents, d'entraîneurs et de coéquipiers, Luc Gélinas décortique le cheminement de chaque joueur, du niveau atome jusqu'au junior, tirant des enseignements précieux et des conseils pratiques". -- 4e de couvJacques Plante: l'homme qui a changé la face du hockey
Par Todd Denault. 2009
Sur la glace comme ailleurs, Jacques Plante était un être exceptionnel, talentueux, téméraire, mystérieux et complexe. Sa carrière tumultueuse de…
gardien de but l'a mené à Montréal, New York, St. Louis, Boston et Edmonton. Chose incroyable, sa contribution au jeu se reflète encore aujourd'hui dans les règlements, l'équipement et le style des joueurs. Appuyée par des documents d'archives comprenant des entrevues avec Jean Béliveau, Henri Richard, Dickie Moore et Scotty Bowman, cette biographie nous révèle l'une des figures marquantes de l'histoire du hockey. De nombreux excellents gardiens de but ont évolué dans la LNH, mais peu ont eu un réel impact sur le jeu. Jacques Plante est l'un de ces joueurs légendaires qui ont transformé la face du hockey. -- 4e de couvThese happy golden years: A Newbery Honor Award Winner (Little House Ser. #8)

Par Ted Nolan. 2023
In 1997 Ted Nolan won the Jack Adams Award for best coach in the NHL. But he wouldn’t work in…
pro hockey again for almost a decade. What happened?Growing up on a First Nation reserve, young Ted Nolan built his own backyard hockey rink and wore skates many sizes too big. But poverty wasn’t his biggest challenge. Playing the game meant spending his life in two worlds: one in which he was loved and accepted and one where he was often told he didn’t belong.Ted proved he had what it took, joining the Detroit Red Wings in 1978. But when his on-ice career ended, he discovered his true passion wasn’t playing; it was coaching. First with the Soo Greyhounds and then with the Buffalo Sabres, Ted produced astonishing results. After his initial year as head coach with the Sabres, the club was being called the "hardest working team in professional sports." By his second, they had won their first Northeast Division title in sixteen years.Yet, the Sabres failed to re-sign their much-loved, award-winning coach.Life in Two Worlds chronicles those controversial years in Buffalo—and recounts how being shut out from the NHL left Ted frustrated, angry, and so vulnerable he almost destroyed his own life. It also tells of Ted’s inspiring recovery and his eventual return to a job he loved. But Life in Two Worlds is more than a story of succeeding against the odds. It’s an exploration of how a beloved sport can harbour subtle but devastating racism, of how a person can find purpose when opportunity and choice are stripped away, and of how focusing on what really matters can bring two worlds together.Old-fashioned on purpose: Cultivating a slower, more joyful life
