Now I'm catching on: my life on and off the air
By Stephen Brunt, Bob Cole. 2016
If you are a hockey fan, you know Bob Cole's legendary voice. He has done the play-by-play for some of…
hockey's best-remembered games, including the Summit Series, Canada's gold-medal game in Salt Lake City, and twenty years of Stanley Cup finals. The infectious excitement in his voice, his boyish love of the game, and his uncanny ability to anticipate the play have earned him the affection of generations of fans, induction into the Hall of Fame, and the unofficial title of best hockey broadcaster ever. Growing up in Newfoundland in the years before it joined Canada, he talked his way into Foster Hewitt's office and into his first job. Describes some of the most cherished players in the game backstage: on the plane back from Russia in 1972, rubbing elbows with Bobby Orr; in the hallway on the old Montreal Forum, running into Jean Beliveau; meeting young players like Steve Stamkos, who grew up listening to him on Hockey Night in Canada. 2016.L'équipe Subban: éduquer pour réussir au hockey comme dans la vie

Karl, Malcolm et Jordan, ont tous été repêchés par la Ligue nationale de hockey. L'aîné, P.K., a par ailleurs laissé sa marque à Montréal en doublant son talent de joueur d'une personnalité franchement attachante et d'une générosité à nulle autre pareille. Avec plus de 30 ans d'expérience comme professeur, directeur d'école, entraîneur et père de 5 enfants, Karl Subban a consacré sa vie à aider les jeunes à développer le potentiel infini qu'il voit en eux. Il raconte dans ce livre l'extraordinaire parcours qui l'a conduit de la Jamaïque au Canada et qui a mené sa famille des ligues locales à la grande ligue. Il faut imaginer le jeune Karl, à 12 ans, lors de son premier hiver à Sudbury, adoptant avec passion les Canadiens de Montréal pour mieux s'intégrer dans son nouveau pays. Dans ce récit d'une aventure familiale unique, il combine l'histoire des siens avec ce que son expérience lui a enseigné sur la persévérance, l'accomplissement et les objectifs qu'on se fixe. Son livre est destiné à tous les parents, entraîneurs, enseignants et autres mentors qui voudraient appliquer les mêmes principes pour aider les enfants à reconnaître, à faire grandir et à vivre leurs rêves. Il captivera aussi, bien sûr, tous les mordus de hockey ! 2017.La méthode Dukan: Ma Solution En 4 Étapes Pour Maigrir Durablement
