À propos de cet audio

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A poignant and inspiring memoir of the people and challenges that shaped the life and career of Canada's most decorated Indigenous athlete.


Over the course of his incredible career, Bryan Trottier set a new standard of hockey excellence. A seven-time Stanley Cup champion (four with the New York Islanders, two with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and one as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche), Trottier won countless awards and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In 2017, he was named one of the NHL's Top 100 Players of All Time.

Trottier grew up in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, the son of a Cree/Chippewa/Metis father and an Irish-Canadian mother. All Roads Home offers a poignant, funny, wise, and inspiring look at his coming of age, both on and off the ice. It is a unique memoir in which Trottier shares stories about family, friends, teammates, and coaches, the lessons that he has learned from them, and the profound impact they have had in shaping the person he has become.

Some of the incredible characters featured in the book include Trottier's father Buzz; legendary Islanders coach Al Arbour; teammates Clark Gillies and Mike Bossy; and the Penguins' Mario Lemieux, to name but a few. He'll also talk about the high school English teacher and guidance counsellor who helped him develop self-confidence and encouraged him as a writer: Governor General's Award–winning poet, Lorna Crozier.

All Roads Home will also include a Foreword from bestselling author Jesse Thistle (From the Ashes) and two very special Afterwords: one from Trottier's daughter, Lindsy Ruthven, and the other from his life-long friend, beloved hockey great Dave "Tiger" Williams.

All Roads Home carries Trottier’s strong voice in this reflective memoir that spans his incredibly successful career." —NNSL

"Bryan Trottier has written a captivating book about his life. . . . A highly personal story, one that focuses on family and friendships as much as anything else." —Regina Leader-Post

Very interesting book about a great player and a great man. The narrator is also very good. I learned a lot about Trottier and the great Islanders dynasty. Thank you for this amazing book.

A great listen. Bryan loves to tell stories and I've had the pleasure to hear a lot of them, first hand. His admiration for his teammates, opponents, coaches, friends, and his family are heartfelt and it really comes through in this book. He's a humble man and rarely speaks of himself and the numerous milestones he's achieved, which are countless. I grew up, admiring him, and am so proud this accomplishment. Add, "author" to his list of achievements. Well done, Bryan.

Great story telling by one of the best!
