The bestselling bio of Hall-of-Famer Patrick Roy-now in a highly anticipated English-language edition

Since it published in Canada in November 2007, Le Guerrier became an instant hit, quickly selling out its first print run. For fans of Patrick Roy, the NHL''s legendary goaltender, the book provided the first truly intimate, no-holds-barred look at the early life and meteoric rise of their hero, told from a unique perspective: his father''s. Written by Michel Roy, himself an impassioned hockey fan, Patrick Roy: Winning, Nothing Else offers keen insights on Patrick''s indomitable will to win, how he revolutionized goaltending and popularized the butterfly style, as well as his role models and inspiration, and his relationships with teachers, teammates, the media, hockey scouts and coaches, agents and players.

  • Reveals what makes Patrick tick, taking us behind the scenes and into the family life of one of the greatest goaltenders of all time
  • Offers a candid look at Patrick''s blunders, faults and difficulties, including the heartbreaking move from Montreal that nearly broke his spirit

While much has been written and said about Patrick Roy, this father''s look at his famous son offers fans everywhere an unusually in-depth and authoritative look at this complicated and driven athlete.

    Hockey Reading at Christmas, tis no better Season
    by Mr.A
    • Top DVD Reviewer
    4 years ago

    If most people do not know yet, I typically read a hockey book for the holiday season. This year the book was read . It was a little different atmosphere for the read. Most of my readers do not know much about hockey, but Patrick was one of the best goalies ever in the NHL. He was a legend as well as a controversial player because of his style, passion, and winning attitude. He played hockey for the first part of his career in Montreal which is a hot bed of hockey passion and intensity. He later was traded to Colorado where he played on two Stanley Cup winning teams. The book is written by his father which makes it a little bias on the views of the events. Typically the father takes the positive outlook on his son, and really who can blame him. The book is a lovely read because it brings me back to my childhood in Canada. As I read, I remember the events. The book provides some insider looks on the feelings, the passion to win, and what really made Patrick great all those years. By the end of the book, Patrick was an enduring figure in my life. It inspired me to "Win, nothing else."
