À propos de cet audio

Hockey's most polarizing figure takes us inside the game, shedding light on not only what goes on behind closed doors but also what makes professional athletes tick.

As one of the NHL's most polarizing players, Sean Avery turned the rules of professional hockey on their head. For 13 seasons, he played for some of the most storied franchises in the league, including the Detroit Red Wings, the Los Angeles Kings, and the New York Rangers, making his mark in each city as a player who was sometimes loved, sometimes despised, and always controversial.

In Offside, Avery displays his trademark candor about the world of pro hockey and does for it what Jim Bouton's game-changing Ball Four did for baseball. Avery goes deep inside the sport to reveal every aspect of pro athletes' lives, from how they spend their money and their nights off to how they stay sharp and conditioned and employed. Avery also examines his singular career path - while playing the talented villain on ice, he skated out of character in the off-season, taking on unexpected and unprecedented roles: Vogue intern, fashion model, advertising executive, restaurateur, gay rights advocate, and many more.

Rollickingly honest and compelling throughout, Offside transcends the sports book genre and offers a rare, unvarnished glimpse into the world of 21st-century hockey through the eyes of one of its most original and memorable players.

“[A] lively, dishy bildungsroman on skates.” (Sports Illustrated)

“[Avery] pulls no punches... Love him or loathe him, Avery is unapologetically himself in his tell-all.” (TSN)

Amazing

Avery gets it. Hockey was a game and he was playing a role. Like many before him……you hated him in opposition but loved him if he was on your team. Intelligent, well read, well spoke, and most importantly; a decent man and compassionate to other human beings.

Good book, gives you a good inside view of the highly controversial player that Is Sean Avery. The #Audible1 experience was a good one.

Good Read!

As a lifelong hockey fan it's interesting to see what's beyond what we see on the surface and the way it's presented to us through media. An agitator, not a goon.

I'd sign him

one of my favorite hockey books. excellent behind the scenes info but narrated at times sounds like he is reading.

great story

I had a love/hate relationship with him as a player. I am a die-hard Leafs fan and he was a leaf killer. I hated when he’d come into Toronto, bury two goals and then tune Darcy Tucker. I hated when he was chirping Dion about his “sloppy seconds.” However, I love this book and I am now a big fan of Sean’s. If you think you know enough about who Sean Avery is think again. If you’re a hockey fan at all you’ll enjoy this book. His stories about legends like Brett Hull, Brendan Shanahan, and many others are full value. He also does a great job reading the book himself. I highly, highly recommend this book. Any fan of modern era hockey will enjoy hearing his stories. #LookGoodFeelGood

Even if you hated him, you’ll love this book

A great listen. Enjoyed the honesty. Don’t hear too much of this from the clandestine world of pro hockey.

A great listen…

was a easy listen, great narrator and wish he would do other books, voice easy to listen to...
His story opens up some areas of hockey that I'm sure the NHL would rather keep under wraps.
I never didn't like Sean Avery , always figured he was like others in sport had a role and well so many wanted that role to define him.... it's not Sean Avery , and I'm happy I got to know him a lil though this book. Thanks for sharing your story in a enlightening and entertaining audio book.
I recommend to anyone , especially anyone who themselves feel they are not seen as who they really are.

Sean Avery no villian ,a book that is well written
