Lost 10 Point Night

Jim Harrison grew up on the prairies, played Junior in Saskatchewan, and pro with the Bruins, Leafs, Hawks, and Oilers. Three years before a former teammate equaled the mark, Harrison set one of the most enduring and seemingly unreachable records in professional hockey with three goals and seven helpers on January 30, 1973. And almost nobody remembers.This is Harrisons story: the games he played, the agent who stole from him, the woman he mourned, the fights he fought, and the friends he made and lost including Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler. Its about the injuries he suffered, the pedophiles who preyed on him and other young players, and a Players Association that, he says, wants me to die.But The Lost 10 Point Night is also a response to Stephen Brunts Searching for Bobby Orr and Gretzkys Tears a book as much about Harrison as it is about author David Ward, a 50-year-old guy who went in search of his childhood hero . . . and what happened when they began looking at Canadas game together.
