Mario Lemieux: Own the Ice

ANNOTATION

A biography of the hockey superstar who overcame injury, disease, and even aging to return to the rink.

FROM THE CRITICS

Alan Review - Tom Philion

Are you a hockey fanatic? Or, have you ever wondered what it is about hockey that fans find so attractive? If so, then rush to buy or borrow Mario Lemieux: Own the Ice. Devoted hockey fans will find a cornucopia of facts and statistics about Mario Lemieux, one of hockey's all time greats. More pedestrian readers will enjoy the riveting narrative, which chronicles Mario's development in Canada Quebec's youth hockey leagues; his emergence as a star with the Pittsburgh Penquins; his early retirement; and his recent comeback as an owner and a player. Particularly absorbing is the account of Mario's battles with back injuries and cancer, and the lessons to be learned from them. Although this book is likely to be enjoyed most by young readers who are already hockey or sports fans, it is so well photographed, captioned, and researched that any reader with a keen interest in human events and challenges will enjoy this good read. I did! 2002, The Millbrook Press, 64pp.,
