Buying the book for my Nephews for Christmas … and may even pick up a copy for myself … you’re never too old to learn more about the game.

I grew up watching Brett’s father and the Isles win more championships than 3 generations of Ranger fans did. I bought this book for my sons because it was written by a person who grew up in hockey. Good luck Brett!

Islander royalty? Lornie was a good player and key to the first cup winning goal but come on. He’s not royalty like 5, 9, 19, 22 or 31. Average player on a great team, terrible coach for a terrible team.

I too grew up with Brett, went to High School with him, played on many teams with him and I have him in my prom pictures! Brett is a great guy who always had a gift for the game… If this book is half as good as Brett is it’s a winner all the way.
Best of luck to the Hennings!

The mental side of sports is getting a lot of attention lately. I coach middle school baseball teams and although I don’t coach hockey and only play occasionally, I am going to pick up this book as a fan and coach of other sports. It would be nice if you buy the paper back if you’d could get the ebook also to read while you wait for it to arrive.

I grew up with the Hennings – Garrett – who was Bretts younger brother and i have been friends since 1991. They were a great family and i used to play hockey in their driveway in with Brett and Lorne – I remember when he got hurt at Notre Dame – it was scary. I havent heard much from them since they moved to California – its great to hear that Bretts doing well. A true hockey family in every way – I remember their message on their answering machine was “We are either playing in ahockey game, watching a hockey game or driving to a hockey game, leave a message”
