Books like The Hammer by Dave Schultz

Name: The Hammer
Author: Dave Schultz

Dave Schultz turned the National Hockey League on its head as the original Broad Street Bully on the Philadelphia Flyers. Schultz fought all comers and more than a few who didn't want any piece of him but also scored quite a few goals on the Flyers first and only Stanley Cup Champion teams in the mid 1970's. This book recounts that time, but also shows the man behind the marauder, who eventually soured on his role and candidly shares his feelings of fear, physical pain, and depression when other larger and young players kept coming for him. Great look into one of the most famous or infamous parts of hockey, that of fisticuffs.

First publish date: 1981
