Hockey Heroes: Jaromir Jagr FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Maybe it was fitting that the best young player in the game scored the goal in overtime. Everyone always talks about passing the torch. He caught it."—Wayne Gretzky, after his final game, about Jaromir Jagr
He's Gretzky's heir apparent, a formidable skater with powerful stick-handling skills. 28-year-old right-winger Jaromir Jagr—with an Olympic gold medal, two Stanley Cups, and three NHL scoring championships to his credit—has already shown the hockey world that he's the best. Young hockey fans will love hearing how Jagr came to dominate the sport: the trick he used to developed his strong stride (with no fancy equipment!); the earliest games he played; how he gained international fame, and the secrets of his success. Breathtaking photos capture this superstar in action. 6 1/2 X 8. all in color
