In 2013, the Colorado Avalanche announced that Joe Sakic, a franchise
legend and Hall of Fame center, would be promoted to become the new
executive VP of hockey operations. Soon, Sakic was instrumental in the
hiring of Patrick Roy, the greatest goaltender in NHL history, a man
crucial to the Avalanche's Stanley Cup victories in 1996 and 2001, as
Colorado's new coach. This book, a collaborative effort between seasoned
sportswriters and authors Terry Frei and Adrian Dater, is an
opinionated, interpretive, and in-depth look at Patrick Roy's first
season as a National Hockey League coach, and the Avalanche's surprising
2013-14 season.
