my life as the most outspoken, fearless, and hard-hitting man in hockey

Roenick shares his life story in this frank and unflinching autobiography. After making his debut as an 18-year-old with the Chicago Blackhawks, Roenick thrilled fans with his flashy style, take-no-prisoners approach, and jaw-dropping skills. He went on to play for four more franchises, including the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings, during his incredible 18-season career. By the time he was through, Roenick had racked up 513 goals and 703 assists. Roenick takes readers on a behind-the-scenes, warts-and-all tour through his illustrious career, both on and off the ice
