About the Book

In 2005 during the National Hockey League's year-long lockout of North American teams, Calgary Flames' co-founder Harley Hotchkiss - chair of the league - met alone with Trevor Linden, president of the NHL Players' Association. The wisdom and honesty of the team owner, many decades older, helped influence the popular young centre to convince fellow players to settle the dispute. Harley has had that remarkable effect on people throughout his astonishing career in sports, business, and the community - a hat trick fulfilling his three goals in life. His absorbing memoir is an insider's guide to the development of North American hockey; the growth of the Canadian oil and gas industry witnessed by one of its most influential and individualistic entrepreneurs; and the behind-the-scenes story of enlightened philanthropy. Along the way, the Ontario tobacco-farmer's son tells of doing deals with the legendary Boone Pickens, going on safari with Swedish royalty, and becoming a partner with the mysterious Baron Carlo von Maffei.

Table of Contents:
Introduction: Faceoff; The Farm Team; Shipping Out; The Learning Curve; Into the Oil Patch; Solo; Corporate Connections; Catching Fire; Toughing It Out; The Puck Stops Here; Giving Back; Family Matters; Epilogue: Third-Period Thoughts; Index.

About the Author :
Paul Grescoe is the best-selling author or co-author of business books on Jimmy Pattison, the founders of Westjet, and the creators of the Canadian Harlequin romance empire, as well as two collections about maverick western entrepreneurs and the recent memoir of Calgary's Dick Haskayne, Northern Tigers: Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions. He lives on Bowen Island, BC.

Review :
...rich in detail, the kind of stuff you can only hear from an insider. Just reading the familiar names-Lanny McDonald, Doug Gilmour, Joe Nieuwendyk, Gary Roberts-is enough to get the ol' hockey blood pumping, and the stories are enough to get you cheering, like you were back at the rink.
