In tribute to the retirement of arguably the game’s greatest captain, this book on Messier traces season by season his ascent to greatness, starting with his early days in Edmonton to his Stanley Cup days to his historic win in 1990 as captain of the Oilers, a Cup no one could have foreseen. The story continues in New York where Messier became a hero of that city when he led the Rangers to a Cup in 1994, the city’s first in 54 years.
