Wayne Gretzky's Ghost: And Other Tales from a Lifetime in Hockey
NATIONAL BESTSELLER “The Harper government should just go ahead and designate Roy MacGregor a national treasure and be done with it…. He’s the best writer around whose subject happens to be hockey…. MacGregor shows why he’s the best at chronicling Canada’s game.”—Ottawa Citizen “The nation’s most incisive and interesting writer on the game and its hold on us.”—The Globe and Mail“The closest thing there is to a poet laureate of Canadian hockey.”—The Washington Post “He brings a rare—and trust me, admirable—touch to his work.”—Edmonton Journal “MacGregor has a unique ability to balance objective reportage with a keen, emotional core; he has a good eye for the human interest angle, which intensifies his editorial thrust, rather than distracting from it.”—Ottawa Citizen “Roy MacGregor’s friendly wit, acute observations, sympathy for people, innate curiosity, delightful modesty, and love of country have made him the reader of our national soul and diviner of our foibles, par excellence.”—Jeffrey Simpson “Peter Gzowski’s gone and both Douglas Coupland and Will Ferguson are a bit too young yet, so that should probably hand the print title of Captain Canada to Roy MacGregor—if he weren’t so deserving of it anyways, for both craft and heart.”—Toronto Star
