About the Book
They Call Me Killer is an intimate, humorous look at Brian Kilrea's 60-year career in junior hockey. With more wins than any coach in junior hockey history, and a personality as large as his winning record, Brian Kilrea is more than a hockey legend-he's one of the most beloved figures in the game. With veteran sportswriter James Duthie, Kilrea gives fans a rink-side view of his early days as a player with the Red Wings and what it was like to score the first-ever goal in the history of the L.A. Kings; as well as his role as a coach for the Ottawa 67s and as a mentor to young stars of the future. They Call Me Killer is an inside look at the day-to-day life in the world of junior hockey, including brutal practices, broken curfews, trades and tirades.
