You hear the thoughts and philosophies of Mike Keenan, Harry Neale, Barry Melrose, Jacques Demers, and of course, the inimitable Don Cherry. Read how some of these coaches struggled with acceptance, victory and, ultimately, defeat. A great read for hockey fans with a knowledge of the game and interesting to those who are new to it. .
