This is a very entertaining autobiography （sort of） about someone often described as "the perfect hockey player"。 Marian Hossa's life story is not told chronologically in this book， which is good。 Instead， it goes from topic to topic， highlighting the most important and interesting points in Hossa's life and hockey career。 Hossa's story is told in the first person， aided by veteran hockey writer Scott Powers， and is augmented by interviews with many noteworthy hockey figures， like Jonathan Toews This is a very entertaining autobiography （sort of） about someone often described as "the perfect hockey player"。 Marian Hossa's life story is not told chronologically in this book， which is good。 Instead， it goes from topic to topic， highlighting the most important and interesting points in Hossa's life and hockey career。 Hossa's story is told in the first person， aided by veteran hockey writer Scott Powers， and is augmented by interviews with many noteworthy hockey figures， like Jonathan Toews， Patrick Kane， Sidney Crosby and Zdeno Chara。As a hockey fan and a （former） Blackhawk season ticketholder， I was concerned going into the reading of this book that I might not learn anything I didn't already know。 Those concerns were unfounded。 Lots of new and fascinating information is contained in this book。 In particular， the series of events that saw Hossa bounce from the Atlanta Thrashers to the Pittsburgh Penguins （for less than one year） to the Detroit Red Wings （for one year） before finally settling in with the Blackhawks is well-chronicled。 Particularly amusing was how Hossa bargained for less money than he was offered in his one-year deal with Detroit。 The public never knew about the skin condition problems that Hossa suffered from for several years until he suddenly announced his retirement。 Hossa goes into great detail explaining the problem and how he tried to solve it and how it was investigated when there was suspicion that the retirement was a case of the Blackhawks manipulating salary cap restrictions。 Hossa was a member of all three Chicago Stanley Cup championship teams （2010， 2013， 2015）。 The 2010 season was the one where the Kyle Beach scandal occurred。 This scandal， exposed 10+ years later， shook up the Blackhawks organization， costing several high-level people their jobs。 I wondered if Hossa would get into this and he did， very briefly， near the end of this book。 Though brief， he made a strong statement。 Most importantly， this book helped the reader learn how Hossa achieved his greatness on and off the ice。 He was a beloved player by Blackhawk fans and ， coincidentally， I am attending the game this evening where his #81 jersey is being retired by the team。 。。。more
