   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "Borje Salming. It's a name that conjures up many images to the fans of   
   Canada's favorite game-the nervous first introduction of two unknown   
   Swedish players, Salming and Inge Hammarstrom, to the Toronto Maple Leafs   
   in the early seventies" the baiting and roughing in the NHL of a   
   "european-style" player who emphasized skill over brute force but who   
   wasn't afraid to mix it up with anyone on the ice; the graceful and daring   
   shot-blocking by a big defenceman that made fans roar with delight; the   
   chiseled features of a seemingly shy Swede who hated media interviews   
   because he felt handicapped by his poor English; a player who survived then   
   rigors of seventeen years of professional hockey only to retire to his   
   homeland to continue playing for the elite Swedish team."   
   The Borje Salming "Blood, Sweat and Hockey" 1st edition book is in MINT   
   condition.
