Publisher's Synopsis
Jordan Binnington's rise to NHL stardom is nothing short of legendary. Once overlooked and buried in the minor leagues, he was a goalie without a future-until he proved the doubters wrong. In January 2019, the St. Louis Blues were at the bottom of the standings, seemingly out of hope. Then came a rookie netminder with confidence, swagger, and a chip on his shoulder.
From his humble beginnings in Richmond Hill, Ontario, to his unforgettable Stanley Cup-winning performance, this book takes you deep into the life and career of Jordan Binnington. You'll relive his journey through junior hockey, his struggles in the AHL and ECHL, and the moment that changed everything-his first NHL start, a shutout that ignited one of the greatest turnarounds in hockey history. With his fearless attitude and ability to shine under pressure, Binnington became the first rookie goalie to ever win a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final, forever cementing his place in hockey lore. But the story doesn't end there. He has faced criticism, controversy, and challenges along the way, yet he continues to battle, proving that he's more than just a one-season wonder. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, career-defining moments, and insights into his fiery personality, this book is a must-read for hockey fans, aspiring goalies, and anyone who loves a true underdog story. Can Binnington lead the Blues to another championship? Can he continue to defy the odds? His story is still being written-but one thing is certain: Jordan Binnington is far from finished.
