"The defense Never Rests is the riveting story of young men who dreamed only of playing hockey and winning the Stanley Cup. Nowhere was this dream more attainable than at Maple Leaf Gardens in the '60s, when the Leafs swept to victory four times. Bruce Dowbiggin captures the heady days of Conn Smythe and Punch Imlach who ruled the club with an iron fist and he vividly recreasts the excitement of "Hockey Night in Canada," when the voice of Foster Hewitt reached across the country. But his story continues to the time when, after hanging up their skates in middle age, hockey greats found themselves without adequate pensions, sometimes virtually penniless. Ignored and cheated by an indifferent NHL management whose coffers they had filled, and abandoned by Alan Eagleson whose Players' Association had become a one-man show, the players overcame age-old team rivalries and banded together for one last fight."
