Olympiasiege, Welt- und Europameister, zahllose internationale Turniererfolge: Hockey ist Deutschlands erfolgreichste Ballsportart und führt doch - wie viele andere Sportarten - öffentlich nur ein Schattendasein. Weil der übermächtige Fußball alle Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht, bleiben für die zahlreichen anderen Disziplinen und Sportler meist nur mediale Brotkrumen übrig, mit den dementsprechenden Folgen für die Finanzierung durch Sponsoren und TV-Gelder. Moritz Fürste ist einer der erfolgreichsten Hockeyspieler der Welt und engagiert sich seit Jahren für die Förderung olympischer Sportarten gegen die kommerzielle Übermacht des Fußballs. Der Welthockeyspieler erzählt in diesem Buch erstmals seine ganz persönliche Geschichte und spart auch private Rückschläge nicht aus. Dabei setzt er sich kritisch mit den Bedingungen für Leistungssportler abseits des großen Profigeschäfts auseinander und plädiert für mehr Unterstützung durch Verbände, Medien und Wirtschaft. Ein Plädoyer für Leidenschaft, Leistung und Engagement und ein spannender Blick hinter die Kulissen des deutschen Spitzensports. Ein Buch für alle, die den Sport lieben!

The incredible story of the life and phenomenal career of hockey's most legendary superstar, told through never-before-seen photographs. <BR><BR>Bobby Orr rarely speaks of his accomplishments as a hockey player. He doesn’t have to—his play did all his talking for him during his storied career. His was a style of seemingly effortless grace, a style that helped reinvent the sport of hockey. <BR>  <BR> Now, Bobby Orr shares his story through a personal collection of photos, inviting readers into different seasons of his life while introducing some of the people that filled these moments in time. We see him at home and in the dressing room. We are there the day the Boston Bruins first scouted him, at rinkside when he celebrated his first Stanley Cup with his father, and back in Boston the day his famous number four was retired. <BR>  <BR> Yet behind all the statistics, trophies, and public persona, is the man himself. There were losses to go along with the victories, disappointments alongside the accomplishments. Without the people around him, and without the many challenges he faced along the way, the triumphs would have meant much less. <BR>  <BR> Capturing not only a legendary career and incredible person, Bobby: My Story in Pictures also brings into focus a different era. These photos chronicle not only the changing of the game, but also mark many significant milestones of his life. <BR>  <BR> Personal, thoughtful, and full of never-before-seen images of Bobby Orr and those close to him, Bobby shows the varied sides of a player who rewrote the record book. It is a public journey into a world of a very private man.

Jim Harrison grew up on the prairies, played Junior in Saskatchewan, and pro with the Bruins, Leafs, Hawks, and Oilers. Three years before a former teammate equaled the mark, Harrison set one of the most enduring and seemingly unbreakable records in professional hockey with three goals and seven helpers on January 30, 1973. And almost nobody remembers.<BR><BR>This is Harrison’s story: the games he played, the agent who stole from him, the woman he mourned, the fights he fought, and the friends he made — and lost — including Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler. It’s about the injuries he suffered, the pedophiles who preyed on him and other young players, and a Players Association that, he says, “wants me to die.”<BR><BR>But The Lost 10 Point Night is also a response to Stephen Brunt’s Searching for Bobby Orr and Gretzky’s Tears — a book as much about Harrison as it is about author David Ward, a 50-year-old guy who went in search of his childhood hero.
