About This Item
Toronto: New Press, 1973. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 141 pages. Biography of the hero of the 1972 hockey summit series between Canada and the Soviet Union. "Tells Henderson's story from his childhood in southern Ontario when his father, Garnet, had trained him and encouraged him to make the NHL. On his way up, Paul Henderson suffered from the inequities of the feudal farm-team system, and saw his best friend in junior hockey black-balled because he wanted an education. He was one of the first to fight the system and improve players' conditions. Few players in the game have given as much as Paul Henderson. This book tells how and why he did it." - from dust jacket. Black and white photographic plates. Book clean and unmarked with light to moderate wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart cover. Nice solid copy overall. (Hopefully Henderson will one day be named to the Hockey Hall of Fame for his exploits on behalf of Canada.).
