Randall Maggs, Award winning poet, Night Work: The Sawchuk Poem, A hockey saga, wrapping the game's story in the "intense, moody, contradictory" character of Terry Sawchuk, one of its greatest goalies.
" . . . Randall Maggs gets closer than any biographer to the heart of the darkest, most troubled figure in the history of our national game. This may be the truest hockey book ever written." -Stephen Brunt, Globe and Mail and SportsNet
