Publisher Description
A refreshing memoir of battles and self-belief from one of the NHL's most revered enforcers
Shawn Thornton was an unlikely NHL success, to say the least. The Oshawa, Ontario, native was picked late in the OHL and later thought he was being pranked when the Toronto Maple Leafs called him to say he'd been selected in the seventh round of the 1997 NHL draft.
After years spent working and maturing in the AHL, Thornton would go on to play fourteen seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, and Florida Panthers, winning two Stanley Cups along the way.
For the first time, in this candid memoir, Thornton opens up about his life in hockey and beyond, from his early days as an unrated prospect to the leadership lessons he learned in the minors, from the most difficult on-ice brawls to the ecstasy of reaching the sport's most celestial heights.
Fans will not want to miss this story of perseverance and finding one's own path.

Shawn Thornton grew up in Indiana. He received Christ in middle school and in his early teen years stood before the congregation to announce his availability for Christian ministry.

Since 2008 he has served as senior pastor of Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village, California, which now sees an attendance of about four thousand people each Sunday and minsters effectively to the community, the state, and beyond.
