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.

"Offside... may be described as Ken Dryden's The Game rewritten by Hunter S. Thompson." (Globe and Mail)
“[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)

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
