About the Book

The Conacher name is well known across the country as the first family of hockey. Continuing in the tradition, Brian Conacher brings 55 years of experience in the sport to life in As the Puck Turns . He is the son of legend Lionel Conacher, Canadas Athlete of the First Half-Century (1900- 1950), as well as the sixth family member to have played in the NHL. Playing in minor and major leagues, on Canadas Olympic and National teams, and then going on to coach and manage teams at the major professional level like the Edmonton Oilers, Brian knows and understands the game inside and out. In his years of hockey, Brian has seen the realities of the world of sport at every level and from many angles. From the early stages of his career, Brian offers up childhood memories about stars like Maurice Rocket Richard and Gordie Howe, playing at Maple Leaf Gardens and managing the building in later years. He shares his insights on the influence of the NHL, on the sport, and what it is like to have been on the last Leafs team to win the Stanley Cup. As the Puck Turns is a fascinating personal journey through the hockey arena and what an iconic figure of the sport sees for the future of his beloved game.
About the Author: Brian Conacher (Toronto, ON) has been in and around the sport of hockey for over 55 years. Born into the first family of hockey, he continued the family tradition in the sport, playing at all levels of the game, from school to the professional leagues. He was on Canada's Olympic and National teams, and ultimately was part of the last Toronto Maple Leaf team to win the Stanley Cup, the Leafs of 1967. After his playing days were over he was appointed general manager with WHA Indianapolis Racers and then later the Edmonton Oilers. He has been President of the NHL Alumni Association, and was the colour commentator during the '72 Summit Series, alongside Foster Hewitt's play-by-play.
