About the Book

Like the group of players who stunned the world by upsetting the mighty Soviet Union in the iconic "Miracle Game" at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid in 1980, few gave the Team USA women much of a chance to beat the Canadians in the inaugural women's tournament in Nagano, Japan in 1998. After all, Canada's women had dominated their game for decades, winning every major international tournament until then. But when the Gold Medal game had ended, Team USA was standing atop of the podium after a shocking upset that ignited what many consider to be the greatest rivalry in all of sports.

About the Author :
Keith Gave spent six years in the United States Army as a Russian linguist working for the National Security Agency during the Cold War. Nothing could have better prepared him for a career as a sports writer covering hockey for the Detroit Free Press. His 15 years with the newspaper were the highlight of a career spanning nearly four decades in the news industry. He also served as writer/producer for the soon-to-be-released documentary film, "The Russian Five". He lives in Roscommon, Michigan, where he continues to write when hes not sneaking off to cast a fly to the trout on his home waters of the Au Sable River.

Review :
'Miracle on Ice' team member Jack O'Callahan, on Hobey Baker, Upon Further Review: "Tim Rappleye delivers a deep and thoughtful look into the life and times of one of America's greatest sportsmen who happened to also be one of the greatest of all American hockey players. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the 'way too short' life of the amazing Hobey Baker." Author Mitch Albom on The Russian Five: "Keith Gave, always a terrific reporter, had a front-row seat to the most fascinating and colorful chapter of Red Wings history -- the Russian Five. At times, he was smack in the middle of it, as an envoy, Russian speaker and secret-keeper. No one could write this story with the detail, depth and understanding that Gave delivers. The result is a whirlwind story that is at times fantastical, gripping, emotional and even humorous. This book was a long time in the making, but well worth the wait."

Hall of Fame hockey player Bobby Orr, on Jack Parker's Wiseguys: "The city of Boston in the 1970s was the hub of the hockey world. The Bruins were hot and so was the college game throughout New England. Jack Parker's Wiseguys tells the story of some of the best college players of that era as well as that of their legendary coach. A terrific read for fans and players familiar with that rough-and-tumble hockey vintage."
