Description
A cool new series that explores the lives of favourite hockey players from yesterday and today!
This first title in Scholastic's Hockey Greats series explores the lives of three fantastic hockey greats: Jean Beliveau, Vincent Lecavalier, and of course, "The Great One" himself, Wayne Gretzky.
Each of these biographies goes beyond the well-known stats and really examines what made these players superstars. Highlights include: significant games, milestones, Stanley Cup championships, as well as extensive stats and records. Full-colour photos of these legendary players accompany the text, and help give a thorough portrait of true hockey heroes.
