Jerrod Edson has written a hockey book with a difference. Jack Jones used to be an enforcer in the NHL. He’s retired now, with a few too many beers under his belt and a lot of good memories. The best part of his life is over, but there’s still a drink to be enjoyed, a woman to flirt with and hockey to watch. This is a story about loss and the first uncertain steps toward recovery.
