Hockey Heroes: Teemu Selanne
Paperback
(Douglas & McIntyre Dec. 31, 1999)
The life story of one of today's NHL superstars at the peak of his profession is told through color photographs of the star in action. In a text aimed at eight- to eleven-year-olds, Kerry Banks focuses on Teemu Selanne, the "Finnish Flash." During his first NHL season in 1992, Selanne demolished all previous rookie records for goals and points and earned a reputation among goalies as one of the most feared forwards on the ice. Since then, Selanne's blinding skating speed, quick and accurate shot, and superb playmaking skills have made him indispensable to his team, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Find out where it all started by following Selanne's career from his early days in Finland, up through the ranks of the Finnish hockey system, and into the fast-paced world of the NHL. The author lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. 48 pages (all in color), 6 1/2 x 8.
