À propos de cet audio

One of the most compelling figures ever to lace on a pair of skates, Carl Brewer was a gifted skater and stickhandler, renowned for his ability to control the pace of a game and goad opponents into costly errors. His talents made him an NHL All-Star and one of the cornerstones of a Toronto Maple Leafs dynasty. But he was also a loner playing a team game, a free spirit in an era when players were expected not to make waves. Teammates and management alike wrote him off as an eccentric, an enigma.

At what should have been the peak of his career, he abandoned the game, embarking on a lifelong search for meaning in his life. Along the way, he met Susan Foster, and together they would discover that purpose. The Power of Two tells the story of how Carl and Susan successfully battled the hockey establishment over the issue of player pensions. Together they uncovered fraud, corruption, and betrayal of trust, ultimately helping bring down the powerful Alan Eagleson. The Power of Two also provides intimate insights into Brewer, who was aptly remembered as a "magnificent, misunderstood fanatic", and his enduring bond with the life partner and ally whose tireless support he depended on.

What a Story!

I didn't know what to expect with this story but the reviews on the book are so good I thought I would give it a listen. And really - what a story - a love story, a hockey story, combined with how Susan and Carl took on Alan Eagleson - and won! I remember all this from my youth and now I get to hear the inside story about how it all happened. I really enjoyed hearing about all the famous players, Carl's interaction with them, and Punch Imlach and the coaches. All the names I heard from so long ago, takes me back. I am really enjoying the story, the history, and the narrator. Libby has done an amazing job here. She is so easy to listen to. It's easy to believe I am listening to Susan telling the story. I have tons of Audible books but I confess, I think Ms. Lennie has done the best job so far. Great job all around.
