  • A Matter of Inches My Last Fight
    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.

During Hardy’s three-year tenure as General Manager, the Steel compiled a USHL-best 116-39- 8-2 record, winning one Clark Cup championship, two Anderson Cups as regular season champions and two Eastern Conference titles. In his new role for Toronto, Hardy will have complete control over the hockey operations for the Marlies and the Growlers, including roster decisions and staffing. “I am certainly excited to begin my new role in Toronto but this is definitely a very bittersweet day,” said Hardy. “I have given all of myself to this team over the last three years and I will miss this place tremendously. I want to thank Larry Robbins and Dan Lehv for the belief they put in me and our ambitious vision three years ago.

  • (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 11 (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1950, while the Associated Press in the United States was selecting Jim Thorpe as the greatest football player and the greatest male athlete of the half century, a select Canadian panel of sports reporters and broadcasters was honoring Canada's native son, Lionel Pretoria Conacher, with the same impressive titles. There were other parallels in the lives of these two superb athletes. Although Conacher was a few years younger than Thorpe (he was born in 1901, Thorpe in 1888), their careers overlapped considerably. Thorpe entertained American spectators for more than twenty years from 1907 to 1929; Conacher starred in Canadian sports from 1916 to 1937. Both were all-around athletes excelling, it seemed, in any sport to which they set their minds -- Thorpe in track and field, football and baseball, Conacher in football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wrestling and boxing. Lionel first played organized football in 1912 with a Toronto junior team, the Capitals. Canadian football was different then from what it is today. There were fourteen players a side and a touchdown was worth only five points (as it had been in the U. S. before the 1912 season). Lionel played middle wing (tackle) with the Capitals in 1912- 15. They won the city championship each of these years. Lionel continued to play in the junior ranks with various Toronto teams through 1918. By this time he was also active in other sports. In 1916 he won the amateur lightweight wrestling championship of Ontario.

  • THE TORONTO ARGONAUTS to World War I
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 4 (1980) THE TORONTO ARGONAUTS To World War I By Robert Sproule in association with Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll Greater Toronto is the twelfth largest metropolitan area in North America above the Rio Grande. Over the years, it has supported many amateur and professional football teams, but not so long-lasting as the Toronto Argonauts. Formed in 1874 as an amateur rugby team, the Argonauts are the oldest major-league football team in North America. This article is intended to recount the history of the Double Blue through the First World War and also to introduce American readers to the early history of Canadian football. Pre-League Play The Argonauts were not the first non-college football team organized in Canada, but they are the oldest such team which still survives. The team was formed in September 1874, just four months after the famous Harvard-McGill match, as an adjunct to the Toronto Argonaut Rowing Club. The team was intended to provide off-season activity for the scullers, in order to keep them in shape for the next competitive rowing season.
