Eleven seconds was all it took. Eleven seconds to stop cold a
shining career scarcely before it had taken off on the ice. Travis
Roy was a promising twenty-year-old hockey star. Then moments into
his first collegiate game as a Boston University freshman, a freak
accident drove Travis into the boards. A cracked fourth vertebra
left him paralyzed from the neck down. That fateful October night
in 1995 signaled the death of one dream - but also the eventual
rebirth of a special kind of hope. For, though imprisoned for
months in a hospital bed, then confined to a wheelchair, Travis
gradually found the grit and the will to reclaim for himself a
fulfilling and productive life. Eleven seconds is a story about
America's love affair with sports and the people who embrace its
never-die spirit. Most of all, it is the story of one young man who
surrendered to no limits and defied all odds, both before and after
the tragedy that ended his game.
