Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed the Face of Hockey
- Used Book in Good Condition
The first full-scale biography of a legendary and award-winning NHL goalie who transformed the game.

â€œThere are a lot of very good goalies, there are even a fair number of great goalies. But there arenâ€™t many important goalies. And Jacques Plante was an important goalie.â€ Ken Dryden

On and off the ice Jacques Plante was a true original; he was extremely talented, boastful, defiant, mysterious, and complex. Throughout his tumultuous career as a goalie, he played for Montreal, New York, St. Louis, Toronto, Boston, and Edmonton. His contributions to and impact on the game were extensive and are reflected in todayâ€™s rules, equipment, and style of play. Thoroughly investigated through archival and primary research, and including interviews with figures such as Jean BÃ©liveau, Henri Richard, Dickie Moore, and Scotty Bowman, this biography sheds light on one of the most pivotal figures in the history of hockey.
