Book Review - Former Player (Traverse City, MI)

Hey coach, I just finished reading your book. Those are some great stories you shared. My favorite was the one about meeting the Montreal Canadians and you exclaiming "HoooooLeeeeeeeWaaaaaaa." I had a good laugh at that, especially because I've heard my yooper roommate say that a couple of times this year. I always remember you preaching about spending time with your family to your players during the holidays and since being away at college for a semester it is definitely something I wish I had done more of in high school. The thought of losing one or both of my parents has also crossed my mind before but reading the end of your book made me think about it again. I know it will happen someday and in a sense it is good to know "the truth is you really can't prepare yourself." Your father was a smart man with all the advice he gave you, and I'm sure you are passing on that knowledge to Cam. Thank you for the great book and everything you sacrifice for being a great hockey coach.
