About the Book

The Goal was only one moment of many that made up a hockey career that lasted twenty years -- and a life that has gone far beyond.
Paul grew up in the small town of Lucknow, Ontario, and played hockey from a young age. He started his professional career with the Detroit Red Wings in 1962, where he played with future Hall of Famers Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, and Ted Lindsay. He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the end of the decade, and it was there that his career took off, culminating with an invitation to the Summit Series.
In the years following, the most famous hockey player in Canada left the NHL for the rebel WHA, playing with the Birmingham Bulls in the United States. It was in Birmingham that Paul developed and deepened his spirituality -- a quest that had begun in Toronto and would define his life after hockey. He founded The Leadership Group, where he serves as a mentor to other men trying to maintain a spiritual life in and out of sports.
In The Goal of My Life, Henderson shares a story that cannot be defined by one goal, but by the many goals that he has set for himself throughout his life, both in hockey and beyond.


About the Author: PAUL HENDERSON enjoyed a solid career as a player in the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association for close to two decades. He scored the most iconic goal in Canadian hockey history when he netted the game-winning goal in Game 8 of the 1972 Summit Series. He also scored the game-winners in Games 6 and 7 of that historic series. After retiring he dedicated his life to his ministry and became widely known as a motivational speaker and a mentor to thousands of men looking to discover a spiritual life. He and Eleanor, his wife of fifty, live in Mississauga. Paul has also co-written Shooting for Glory and How Hockey Explains Canada.

ROGER LAJOIE has worked as a writer and broadcaster in Toronto sports media for more than 30 years. He is best known as a sports talk show host on Sportsnet 590 The Fan and has been a play-by-play voice of several Ontario Hockey League teams. He has also written for numerous publications, including the Toronto Sun, and co-wrote The Road to Hockeytown with Jimmy Devellano. He and his wife, Rita, live in Courtice, Ontario.
