Book

They call me chief : warriors on ice / Don Marks.

Marks, Don, 1953- (Author).

Summary:

"They Call Me Chief started out as a television documentary that told the stories of North American "Indians" who played in the National Hockey League. ... Like the documentary, this book will not focus on cold statistics. Anybody can look that up. It's the feelings and thoughts, the motivations and struggles, the pressures and the pain the players experienced, which enhance their stories and enlighten the reader. While I intend to tell good hockey stories first and foremost, I also want to inform readers about situations and circumstances that bring history, politics and socio-cultural issues of the times into a balanced perspective." --foreword
