This is a savage memoir
A raw, shocking glimpse of the sexuality and secret life of a hockey player with a destiny to chase and a dream to play in the NHL. With bare knuckles and guts on display, he's fighting his way to the top. But there is turmoil, confusion, addiction, and brokenness inside. There are secrets waiting to come out.
And there is fear.
He's searching for his identity. To find out who he really is---sexually, athletically, spiritually, everything. Experience the climb up the hockey ladder and the search for meaning, for identity, for redemption, for glory.
This savage memoir takes the reader on an epic journey from boyhood to manhood of a hockey fighter, as seen through four lenses: sex, drugs, pucks, and souls. It's the story behind the story of a man fighting his way to the NHL.
And then the fall.

highlight reel
Real fighting, bare knuckles, bone on bone—shows you who you really are. No room for anything but truth and certainty when throwing bones at an opponent and getting bones thrown back at you. The only things present are lightning-fast twitching reactions of muscles and tendons. They begin as electrical impulses of sparks from somewhere deep inside you. Their only reason for existing is to keep you alive.
