Excellent biography of one of hockey's all-star characters.

A truly wonderful book for any fan of the great Canadian game. It tells the life story of Howie Meeker, one time war veteran, politician, winger, coach and very briefly manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, not to mention broadcaster and seminal teacher of the game.His remarkable career with all its ups and downs is related in an honest and humble manner, giving much insight into how the game developed during the 1940/50s. Included are a host of anecdotes about the great hockey figures of the day, not least of which are some very enlightening accounts of the "character" that was Conn Smythe and his treatment of successive Leafs coaches.This biography is very well written with an entertaining, informative and intelligent style that makes it a superb read for those new and old to hockey.
