No One Wins Alone
Everybody has value and should be made to feel that way. That was one of our fundamental tenets, and we all bough into it completely. We believed that if you've built the right culture-a culture of inclusion-then an important contribution could just as likely come from a guy who says he's keeping his fingers crossed to hang on with the team as from one of the stars.

Mark Messier
An inside account of the life of the New York Rangers hockey star.
Mark Messier
Written for sports fans of all ages, the Sports Snaps series profiles well-known sports figures in a scrapbook-style format. Included in each are quotes from players and coaches about the athlete, statistics, records, and the player's biography. With commentary provided by some of the sporting world's best writers and action-packed colour photos from top sports photographers, these books provide fans with an intimate look at their heroes. The public persona and personal struggles of one of the world's fastest women are chronicled in this look at Olympian Marion Jones. In 1998, she became the first American woman to be ranked number one in three different events, and in the 2000 Summer Olympics she took home three gold medals and two bronze medals.
New York Magazine
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
Wayne Gretzky
Wayne Gretzky has become such an integral part of hockey it's hard to imagine the game without him. Just try to think of an NHL without the first player to break the 200-point barrier in a single season (Wayne did it on March 25, 1982), the only player to register more than 1,850 career points (Oct. 15, 1989), or the only player to score more than 801 goals (March 23, 1994). Indeed, the memories of Gretzky are so interwoven within the fabric of the game itself, it seems one could not have existed without the other.
Messier
"New York Times editor and hockey expert Jeff Z. Klein looks at the career of one of hockey's most commanding and intriguing personalities. We all know the larger-than-life Messier, the steely-eyed gladiator surrounded by an aura of near-magical charisma and menace, the Bad Cop to Gretzky's Good Cop in Edmonton, the captain who promised -- and delivered -- a game 6 victory over the New Jersey Devils in the '94 Eastern Conference finals, the centre of the "My Canada includes Messier" controversy before the '98 Olympics. He has the third-highest points total in NHL history and the highest points and goals totals among current players. But Jeff Z. Klein takes us beyond the headlines and the statistics. We meet a Messier who is not only a leader and a warrior, but a contemplative student of philosophy, a generous contributor to children's hospitals, and a man who has a complex emotional life. Drawing on his incisive understanding of the game of hockey, his contacts within the NHL, and his familiarity with the New York Rangers, Klein gives us an intimate look at the man who just may be the most fascinating player in hockey and the greatest leader in all sport.
Rangers vs. Islanders
The intrastate rivalry between the Islanders and the Rangers is like no other in the NHL. Playing in the same league and with home rinks mere miles from one another, these two teams face off against each other multiple times a season. With devoted fans on either side backing their personal hometown favorites, the cross-town series between the two is often just as heated as championship games. In Rangers vs. Islanders, Fischler and Weinstock expertly narrate the entirety of the on-ice feud between the Islanders and Rangers. All of the major events are covered in-depth: from the Islanders’ founding in 1971; to the first meet-up in 1972; to the infamous 1975 playoff series; to all eight playo...

Undrafted
True stories and hard-won lessons about a life of hockey, from a Stanley Cup champion and top analyst. As a child growing up in Toronto, Nick Kypreos lived for hockey and dreamed of following in his idols’ footsteps to play in the NHL. Hockey was an important part of the Kypreos household. It was largely through the game that his immigrant Greek parents acclimatized to their new lives in Canada, and from a young age “Kyper” proved he was more than good enough to move through the ranks. But he was never a top prospect—he didn’t even attend the NHL draft when he became eligible. And yet, through dedication and constant improvement, he made it to the show. Kypreos built a career on hi...
