[E] Raincoast Books, 2003. 113p. Illus. Gr. 8-12. 1-55192-639-3. Hdbk. $24.95
Imagine for a moment a team without a leader. A team without the sheer determination to carry on when the going gets rough. Now imagine being a part of the greatest hockey team of the century and being booed off the ice, in your own country! Most people would accept the fact and continue on playing, but not Phil Esposito. It was on a September night in 1972, in Vancouver that Phil Esposito became a Canadian icon. His emotionally charged speech became the rallying cry for Team Canada as they beat Team Russia in the dramatic seven game Summit Series of 1972.
Craig MacInnis (Editor), with the help of Frank Orr, Doug Herod, and Rob Alder opens the life and career of Phil Esposito.
