<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"All the Way tells the story of someone who has travelled far from home to realize a dream, someone who has known glory and cheering crowds, but also the demons of despair. It is the searing, honest tale of a young man who has risen to every challenge and nearly fallen short in the toughest game of all, while finding a way to draw strength from his community and heritage, and giving back to it as well"--Www.amazon.com.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The bestselling story of a true warrior's toughest battle, now in paperback</b><br> It seemed as though nothing could stop Jordin Tootoo on the ice. The captain, a fan favourite, a star in international competition, Tootoo was always a leader. And when he was drafted by Nashville in 2001 and made the Predators out of camp in 2003, he became a leader in another way--as the first player of Inuk descent to suit up in the NHL.<br> All the challenges and pressure would have been more than enough for any rookie, but Tootoo faced something far more difficult: the tragic loss of his older brother before his first shift for the Predators. Though he played through it, Tootoo suffered from many of the same problems that have plagued so many people from his community. In 2010, he checked himself into rehab for alcohol addiction. It seemed as though a promising career had ended too soon.<br> But that's not the way Tootoo saw it and not the way it would end. Told in Tootoo's bold voice, with contributions by Stephen Brunt, arguably one of the best sportswriters, <i>All the Way</i> is the searing, honest tale of a young man who has risen to every challenge but all too nearly fell short in the toughest game of all.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The most compelling, honest and unputdownable hockey read in years. --<i>Maclean's<br></i><br><b>Tootoo's book ... hits as hard as he does, with nothing held back. --<i>Winnipeg Sun<br></i></b><br>[One] of the year's notable sports books ...
