Danny Lewicki, From the Coal Docks to the NHL

book

I play in a couple of different slo-pitch leagues each summer, and one is the RSPA.  The president of this league is a nice fellow named Randy Warren who just sent me a note.

its Randy from RSPA
I just printed a new book - an autobiography of Danny Lewicki, who played on the 51 Leafs with Bill Barilko; a great story of what hockey was like in those days; his fights with Conn Smythe and management...

Dashin' Danny Lewicki is the only player in hockey history to have won a Memorial Cup, Allan Cup and Stanley Cup while still a junior.  And yes, he played with Bashin' Bill Barilko on that 1951 Stanley Cup winning Leafs team.  During nine seasons in the NHL he scored 105 goals and 135 assists for 240 points in 461 regular season games with the Leafs, Rangers and Black Hawks.

"From the Coal Docks to the NHL" is Danny Lewicki's new book and I can't wait for my copy.  You can get it from http://www.dannylewicki.com/ and at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
