Messier: Hockey's Dragon Slayer

A great read....filled with insights and facts on how messier became the great player he is today. Great perspectives on mess from players to coaches to writers. A must read for hockey fans of all ages.

Well written! Keeps you interested and waiting to find out what happens next. Mr. Carpiniello has given the reader a lovely glimpse into the career of a wonderful athlete. As a hockey mom whose son greatly admires this superstar, I am grateful for a biography that celebrates the leader, the nice guy. In answer to "Horrible", who cares whom the athletes go out with and who doesn't assume that they do? Fill in the blanks or read Jackie Collins. On target to what the sport is about. The hard work, the dedication and the will to win! Well done!

This is a must read for Messier fans and Ranger fans alike. It follows Messier's career and provides some insight on the trade that sent Mess to Vancouver. The foreward by Brian Leetch was very interesting.

Messier is the true hockey enigma, and this book reveals as much about him as we'll ever probably know. Filled with interesting anecdotes, I totally enjoyed it. The foreword by Brian Leetch is also a great read.

Rick Carpineollo does a fine job in giving us a personal glimpse of Ranger great Mark Messier. He deftly describes the determination, competitive spirit and innate talent of Messier...and along the way reveals the player's generous, caring, "genuine good guy" traits. Lots of on-the-ice action and amusing anecdotes make this book an enjoyable, easy read.
