Wayne Gretzky Review
By: Travis Reeves

This book was very good at giving information about the sport of hockey and one of the best players that ever played it, Wayne Gretzky. This book also kept me wanting to read. It did this too by using information I didn't know about Wayne Gretzky such as, his family life and the role he played off the ice.
Even as a smaller guy on the hockey teams he played on in the NHL, including the Rangers and the Oilers, Wayne Gretzky dominated. With his swift moves and technique he was able to score high and set records. One of his records he set was 300 points by his 30th consecutive game in an NHL season, which he continued to break by his 31st game.
Also in this non-fiction book of the hockey pro it mentioned some of the role models Wayne Gretzky had. These role models included his father, Walter Gretzky, a man who guided Wayne through his career and further.
This book really shows the good points to hockey. Also it gives good information about Wayne Gretzky and his accomplishments. I recommend this book to hockey fans and even those who aren't into hockey at all.

Wayne Gretzky
I'm writing about the book I read in Social Studies. This book was farly good. This book talked about Wayne's life. It said that when he was a little kid he moved to Toronto to get away from all the paretens who's kids were mad that he was always scoring. At a young age Wayne played hockey with his grandmother. Wayne was also great as a young boy. Wayne was 18 years old when he started to play hockey in the NHL. Wayne has 40 Reular season records. Wayne played for 4 different teams. Wayne Gretzky is the greats or one of the greats. I think that if you like sports you should read this book. ... Read more

Product Description
Few professional athletes have been as loved and respected as Jean Béliveau, captain of the fabled Montreal Canadiens during the team’s glory years in the 1950s and 1960s. His career on ice was followed by an equally successful career in the Canadiens' front office. First published in 1994, this classic biography has been fully updated to reflect the events of the past decade, from his battle with cancer to his frank assessment of the game today, including the consequences of expansion and the fallout from a cancelled season. ...

Above the Fray
The term "above the fray" implies someone with lofty ideals who loves what he does, or who he/she is with, and who refuses to engage in anything that would demean or lower the standards of what he/she respects.

So it is with Jean Beliveau, the former captain of the Montreal Canadiens, who played for and presided over one of the remarkable dynasties in the history of sports.

Beliveau skated for the Canadiens in the 1950's into the early 1970's, and was the face of the franchise.Beliveau was the urbane, classy sportsmen who understood his teammates, and knew what it took to win.

His love for his sport resulted in his second career, after playing, which was not as excitting, but every bit as interesting as his first.Beliveau became the executive officer of the Canadiens for nearly thirty years.

He is a loyal friend, an emissary for hockey, and an all-time great hall of fame skater.

Hockey has had its' share of image issues through time.The fighting, the goons, labor strikes and lockouts, the loss of television contracts and broad based fan appeal.

But through it all, a man with the upbeat attitude, graciousness and class of Beliveau has been the friend of hockey.His story, and the lessons he espouses are greatly worthwhile. ... Read more
