99 : stories of the game Cover Image Book

99 : stories of the game / Wayne Gretzky, with Kirstie McLellan Day.

Ninety-nine (other title)
Stories of the game (portion title)
Gretzky, Wayne, 1961- (author.). Day, Kirstie McLellan, (contributor.).

Summary:

For the first time, Gretzky discusses candidly what the game looks like to him and introduces us to the people who inspired and motivated him: mentors, teammates, rivals, the famous and the lesser known. Weaving together lives and moments from an extraordinary career, he reflects on the players who inflamed his imagination when he was a kid, the way he himself figured in the dreams of so many who came after; takes us onto the ice and into the dressing rooms to meet the friends who stood by him and the rivals who spurred him to greater heights; shows us some of the famous moments in hockey history through the eyes of someone who regularly made that history. Warm, direct, and revelatory, it is a book that gives us number 99, the man and the player, like never before.
