NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A poignant and inspiring memoir of the people and challenges that shaped the life and career of Canada's most decorated Indigenous athlete.

Over the course of his incredible career, Bryan Trottier set a new standard of hockey excellence. A seven-time Stanley Cup champion (four with the New York Islanders, two with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and one as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche), Trottier won countless awards and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In 2017, he was named one of the NHL's Top 100 Players of All Time.

Trottier grew up in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, the son of a Cree/Chippewa/Metis father and an Irish-Canadian mother. All Roads Home offers a poignant, funny, wise, and inspiring look at his coming of age, both on and off the ice. It is a unique memoir in which Trottier shares stories about family, friends, teammates, and coaches, the lessons that he has learned from them, and the profound impact they have had in shaping the person he has become.

Some of the incredible characters featured in the book include Trottier's father Buzz; legendary Islanders coach Al Arbour; teammates Clark Gillies and Mike Bossy; and the Penguins' Mario Lemieux, to name but a few. He'll also talk about the high school English teacher and guidance counsellor who helped him develop self-confidence and encouraged him as a writer: Governor General's Award–winning poet, Lorna Crozier.

All Roads Home will also include a Foreword from bestselling author Jesse Thistle (From the Ashes) and two very special Afterwords: one from Trottier's daughter, Lindsy Ruthven, and the other from his life-long friend, beloved hockey great Dave "Tiger" Williams.©2022 Bryan Trottier (P)2022 McClelland & Stewart Law Professionals & Academics Sports Hockey Funny

Critic reviews

“With its mix of pathos, tragedy, humour and, above all, gentle macho positivity, this is one of the most Canadian hockey books yet written.”—Globe and Mail

I was incredibly fortunate to play in an golf outing with Bryan Trottier this last summer!! I didn't know anything about him at all. He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Had an incredible time getting to know him while we played and at dinner.

The book completely reflects the amazing person he is. It is a MUST read or listen. I have listened to it 3 times in a row.

It is SOOO good!!!

Just an Incredible book and even Better Person!!

I enjoyed the story of Trottier. As good of a hockey player, it seems like he was a better person and father. I came away thinking that the person reading had never watched a hockey game based on his pronunciation of names. Willie Desjardins comes to mind. Even my wife said, that’s not how you say his name is it. I certainly have never heard it pronounced that way.

As a long-time hockey fan I already knew a lot of the history of Bryan Trottier, but this book fleshed out his biography in my mind.
One issue: name pronunciation. I wish that the narrator had checked on the pronunciation of some of the names before recording the narration. A couple examples are Desjardins and Irbe.
