Yesterday in broadcasting. Tomorrow in book form." -- Steve Simmons, Toronto Sun After nearly 50 years behind the microphone, the voice of hockey in America opens up in a must-read memoir. Mike "Doc" Emrick has seen everything there is to see in a hockey game. Sizzling slap shots. Commitment, courage, and camaraderie. Pugnacious pugilists. Game- winning goals. To hockey fans across the country, his voice -- and vocabulary -- have become synonymous with the game they love. In Off Mike, Doc takes readers back to the beginning, detailing how a Pittsburgh Pirates fan from small-town Indiana found himself in the wild world of professional hockey, calling games for the New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, and finally NBC. He's covered All-Star Games, Stanley Cup Finals, the Olympics, and everything in between, rubbing shoulders with hockey's immortals both on and off the ice. Yet Doc's life has had its share of ups and downs, from almost leaving behind the love of his life to the passing of beloved companions to personal health scares. After years of being welcomed into our homes, in this autobiography Doc welcomes us into his, revealing the stories, wit, and wisdom that have made him one of the most beloved figures in sports."--|cProvided by Freading. 588 0 Publisher metadata. 600 10 Emrick, Mike. 610 20 National Hockey League|xHistory. 650 0 Sportscasters|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION / Hockey.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Allen, Kevin,|d1956-|eauthor. 700 1 Olczyk, Eddie,|eauthor. 914 frd00039249
