Description: "Broadcast legend Brian McFarlane gathers a lifetime of cherished memories from his years as an iconic figure in hockey. He was on the scene - in the backrooms, the dressing rooms, the boardrooms, and on-ice and in front of the camera - for many of the most exciting, pivotal, challenging, and humourous events in hockey history. These memories are shared here for the first time in the engaging, candid, and colourful way that has made McFarlane's writing a favourite for hockey fans." "McFarlane also offers "behind-the-scenes" commentary on events that have shaken the hockey world - including his insight into the Harold Ballard years - as well as the lighter side of hockey life and the shenanigans of its famous players. Whether looking into the past with reverence for the likes of Jean Beliveau, or looking forward into the future of women's hockey, From the Broadcast Booth promises to delight those with a passion for sports." --Book Jacket.
