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.
