A guide for sports fans on how to watch and appreciate the game of
hockey More and more fans are watching the NHL each week, but many
of them don’t know exactly what they should be watching. How does
an offense create shooting lanes for its best sniper? When a center
breaks through and splits between two defensemen, which defender is
to blame? Why does a goalie look like a Hall of Famer one week and
a candidate for the minor leagues the next? This guide for sports
fans on how to watch and appreciate the game of hockey takes you
inside a coach’s mind as he builds a roster or constructs a game
plan, to the chaos of the goalie’s crease, and deep into the
perpetual chess match between offense and defense. Discussing
topics such as what to look for when a team goes on the power play
and why playing center might be the most grueling job in sports,
Take Your Eye Off the Puck shows fans how to get the most out of
watching their favorite sport.

Jeremy Roenick, one of the premier hockey players of his
generation and one of the greatest American stars the NHL has ever
known, shares his life story in this frank and unflinching
autobiography. After making his debut as an 18-year-old with the
Chicago Blackhawks, Roenick thrilled fans with his flashy style,
take-no-prisoners approach, and jaw-dropping skills. A native of
Boston, Roenick went on to play for four more franchises--including
the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings--during his
incredible 18-season career. By the time he was through, Roenick
had racked up 513 goals--the second most of any American-born
player--and 703 assists. Now a tells-it-like-it-is commentator for
NBC and the NHL, Roenick takes readers on a behind-the-scenes,
warts-and-all tour through his illustrious career, both on and off
the ice.
