A revealing look inside the Russian Super League by its first Canadian coach. Until now no Canadian had penetrated the coaching ranks of Russian hockey, but the year after the NHL lockout, Dave King became head coach of the Metallurg Magnitogorsk. From the beginning, King, Canada’s long-time national coach and former coach of both the Flames and Blue Jackets, realized he was in for an adventure. His first meeting with team officials in a Vienna hotel lobby included six fast-talking Russians and the “bag-man” — assistant general manager Oleg Kuprianov, who always carried a little black bag full of U.S. one hundred dollar bills. The mission seemed simple enough: keep the old Soviet style combination play on offence, but improve the team’s defensive play — and win a Russian Super League Championship. Yet, as King’s diary of his time in Russia reveals, coaching an elite Russian team is anything but simple. King of Russia details the world of Russian hockey from the inside, intimately acquainting us with the lives of key players, owners, managers, and fans, while granting us a unique perspective on life in an industrial town in the new Russia. And introducing us to Evgeni Malkin, Magnitogorsk’s star and the NHL’s newest phenomenon.

Millions cheer at live and televised games, but few fans have the opportunity to get under the helmets and behind the masks to meet hockey's greatest stars. STARFORCE HOCKEY tells the inside story of the greats who have spanned the decades, from future Hall of Famers-Ray Bourque, Mark Messier, Chris Chelios, Grant Fuhr, Patrick Roy, and Steve Yzerman-to the players whose stars are burning brightest now-superstar Jaromir Jagr, Eric Lindros, Curtis Joseph, Pavel Bure, Dominik Hasek, Brian Leetch, Teemu Selanne, Peter Forseberg, and Paul Kariya-to those whose stars are rising for the first time-the young and the talented Steve Kariya, the Sedin Twins, and Patrik Stefan. 
Each player is profiled, with information about his interests, habits, superstitions, and unique skills. "Did you know?" boxes include relevant statistics for each player. Exciting photos capture the players' drive and talent on and off the ice. And telling quotes from insiders such as general managers, scouts, opponents, teammates, coaches, and journalists provide revealing insights. Perfect as a gift or a personal keepsake, STARFORCE HOCKEY is great for any hockey buff.
