A very special title for a very special athlete: hockey enthusiasts both young and old will grab this engrossing biography of Mario Lemieux. Wonderfully researched, beautifully written, and most of all, filled with an exciting collection of color action photographs, it captures Lemieux's unique skills throughout his stellar career. When this hockey superstar announced his return to the NHL in December 2000 after a three-year absence, no one doubted that he would once again become the most explosive scorer in the league. No player has anything like his history of spectacular comebacks, from injury and even cancer. And, when he graced hockey once again with his brilliance, he set another new record: not only does he play for the Pittsburgh Penguins, he's also the owner!
