Catch 22: My Battles, in Hockey and Life - Toronto Maple Leafs Legend Rick Vaive

Catch 22: My Battles, in Hockey and Life - Toronto Maple Leafs Legend Rick Vaive with Scott Morrison - Hardcover Book - Used but in good condition - 272 Pages National Bestseller: Was one of the most unheralded captains of the Toronto Maple Leafs also one of the greatest players in the history of hockey's most popular team? In telling his story of turmoil in Toronto's Ballard years (and with Don Cherry's Mississauga Ice Dogs), growing up in an environment filled with alcohol and alcoholism, and his own struggles and battles, Rick Vaive finally sets the record straight. In the storied history of the Toronto Maple Leafs, no player scored fifty goals in a season until Rick Vaive in 1981-82. He did it three years in a row (only two others have scored 50 since) before being unceremoniously stripped of his captaincy and traded out of town, and he did it for a promising team that was nonetheless largely stuck at the bottom of the standings. So why isn't his number 22 hanging from the rafters of the Leafs' rink and his name as revered in Leafs lore as Gilmour, Sundin and Clark? If you have any questions like size of the book or anything else. Feel free to ask and I would be happy to answer them. Cheers, David T. Chapman
