About the Author
Most fans of DON CHERRY know him for his blistering seven minutes of "Coach's Corner" on Hockey Night in Canada, but they might have forgotten Don's incredible journey through the world of hockey. In 1955, he played his one and only NHL game for the Boston Bruins. He then went on to coach in just about every level of hockey, from high school, to the American league, to the OHL, to International, to the NHL. Don won a state High School Championship, a Canada Cup, Coach of the Year in the AHL and the NHL, and has a .601 winning percentage in the NHL. After his coaching career, a chance appearance on Hockey Night in Canada launched a 35-year-long broadcasting career. In 2004, Don was voted the 7th All-Time Greatest Canadian and in 2015, Don and his "Coach's Corner" partner Ron MacLean were inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame. His Rock'em Sock'em videos are all-time bestsellers and his syndicated radio show, Grapeline, has been on the air for over 30 years. Don's just about done it all: player, coach, television and radio star, restaurateur and bestselling author.
