The Big M: The Frank Mahovlich Story

0 - Default Title
Description
No baby boomer hockey fan can forget the sight of Frank Mahovlich skating out of his own end, those graceful, powerful strides eating up the ice and swallowing the opposition. This quiet and gentlemanly superstar holds a vaunted place in the annals of hockey history, and his story isn't just one of a stellar career, but a compelling look into the end of the original six-team era. Told by his son Ted, who has a unique perspective and an insider's position in the professional hockey world, THE BIG M is a hockey biography that's chock-full of fascinating anecdotes, eye-opening insights and warm nostalgia into the life and times of one of the greatest left-wingers of all time.

With interviews from the likes of Bobby Hull, Jean Beliveau, Gordie Howe, Ken Dryden and Guy Lafleur, THE BIG M reveals the complete Frank Mahovlich story, including:

• four Stanley Cups with the great Leafs teams of the '60s • Frank's bitter struggle with Punch Imlach • the infamous million-dollar deal with the Chicago Blackhawks • the end of the six-team era • the glory years in Montreal • the 1972 Canada/Russia series • Frank's move to the WHA's Toronto Toros - a league of a different kind • Frank's Senate appointment and personal reflections.

With a foreword by Red Fisher, THE GAZETTE (Montreal).
