I recently picked up The Pictorial History of Hockey by Joseph Romain and Dan Diamond at a thrift store for just $3.00—what a find! The moment I flipped through its pages, I knew I had to do a podcast episode on it. This isn’t a traditional book review; instead, I’m diving into the parts that grabbed my attention and the stories that resonated with me. As I started recording, an unexpected outline took shape, guiding me through hockey’s origins and the fascinating backstories behind some of the names etched on the NHL’s most prestigious awards.

Tune in for a journey through the rich history of the game we love! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy this episode and have a productive day!

Terry Harper's Hockey Journey

I have to apologize for the abrupt ending of part one of Mr. Harper's hockey journey. It's like when you're the fan of the home team that's down by 3 at the end of the second, battle back to tie the game in dramatic fashion, sending the contest into overtime, only to lose that game in the first 30 seconds of the final frame. 😞 That's how I felt. We were settled in, ready for the next chapter of Terry's story, getting to the really good stuff, and then it's over. Well, today we're going to fix that.

Terry Harper has an incredible story. Born in 1940, his childhood wasn't an easy one, as he was raised during the war and experienced all the hardships that came along with this worldwide challenge. He also, at a young age, came close to losing his life from the complications of a fire he was involved in, resulting in years of skin grafting, not knowing if he'd survive the event or be able to walk or do sports ever again.

But as we'll see throughout his 18-year tenure in the NHL, Terry exemplified the epitome of defensive prowess. A cornerstone of the Montreal Canadiens' dynasty from 1963-1972, he played an integral role in securing an impressive five Stanley Cup victories for the historic franchise. 🏆

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, get your end dialed in, as we begin part two of the captivating tale of Terry Harper, a beacon of inspiration whose resilience, dedication, and unwavering spirit continue to resonate with hockey enthusiasts around the world. 🌟

In today's episode, we're not only going to explore the hardships that come with the game of hockey but also the indomitable spirit of those who rise above them. We'll take inspiration from the timeless wisdom in the pages of three remarkable books that helped guide me through tough times. I hope some of the most significant ideas I will share today can help you if you're going through a rough patch early into this winter hockey season.

Remember that adversity and hockey hardships are merely a checkpoint on the path to success. It's where character is built, where legends are born, and where the heart of the game and its players shine brightest.
