À propos de cet audio

 From the NHL’s most unexpected All-Star MVP comes a sports memoir unlike any other. Hilarious, candid, and reflective, A Guy Like Me recounts the heartwarming story of John Scott: an average joe who became a sports icon overnight.

Known as a willing-and-able fighter and bruiser in the league, John Scott was a surprising and tongue-and-cheek nominee for the 2016 NHL All-Star Game. He’d been in the league for over eight NHL seasons, playing for teams such as the Wild, Blackhawks, Rangers, Sabres, and the Sharks. Scott’s best attribute as an NHL player was dropping his gloves—never the best player, he did become the most feared fighter in the NHL, racking up extensive penalty minutes.

In order to prevent him from playing in the game, his current team—the Phoenix Coyotes—traded Scott to the Montreal Canadiens, who demoted him to the AHL team in an attempt to disqualify him from playing in the All-Star Game. Fans were outraged and Scott was devastated. He’d been downgraded in his job—forced to relocate while his wife was pregnant with twin girls. But the fans wouldn’t back down and insisted the NHL let Scott play in the game. What followed was an inspiring and unforgettable Cinderella story.

Detailing his life growing up and with plenty of his signature humor, A Guy Like Me is a moving, witty, and remarkable memoir that you won’t be able to put down. Hockey Sportifs Jeu Comédie Spirituel Sincère Guerrier Hockey Biographies

Really enjoyed the story. The narration soured me for overall rating. The mispronunciation of peoples names should have been caught and edited prior to release.

Narration needs edit

Low expectations, and the book turned out to be fantastic. Sort of the theme of Scott's life I suppose. The book is inspiring and helps educate the reader about the life of an aspiring professional athlete and their path through the collegiate system to the NHL. This is a path spoken much less about compared to that through the CHL. I appreciated all of the stories told and was super happy with time spent on this one.

Surprising!

For a book about a Canadian hockey player you would think that the narrator could pronounce hockey names. Or at least know how to pronounce Canuck.

Narrator was terrible.
