For nineteen years, Debrah 'Madusa' Miceli was a star in professional wrestling - WWE champion Alundra Blayze. She jumped into the world of monster trucks with reckless abandon, earning the nickname 'The Queen of Carnage.' For the first time, Madusa reveals her childhood traumas, her triumphs and tragedies, her loves and heartbreaks. Through four decades of entertaining, in the wrestling ring and on the monster truck circuit, Debrah 'Madusa' Miceli never could sit still. But her desire to learn, grow, and inspire legions of followers masked deep secrets... Her upbringing was a lie from the start, and the dark truths of her childhood, revealed here for the first time, are the earliest examples of Debrah's determination to persevere. Professional wrestling may have been an odd choice for a nursing student, but Madusa went all-in, toughening up in Japan before conquering WWE as Alundra Blayze. She held the WWE Women's belt... until being fired. In the rival WCW, Madusa infamously tossed

'A captivating and candid memoir from one of the most beloved and colorful figures in Toronto Blue Jays history Over 11 years and two separate managerial stints with the Toronto Blue Jays, John Gibbons endeared himself to fans with his folksy manner and his frequent battles with umpires: Here comes Gibby! Winning helped too. Under Gibbons s management, the Jays made the American League Championship Series in 2015, ending a 22-year playoff drought; then they did it again in 2016. Along the way the team defied odds, won over a nation, and with one flip of a bat produced one of the most iconic moments in MLB history. Now, in his memoir, Gibby shares the story: an on-field career that didn t pan out, but a managing career that did eventually. Raised in a military family, he played his first competitive baseball in Newfoundland and Labrador, and, with the family now in San Antonio, Texas, Gibby, a catcher, developed into a first-round draft pick of the New Yor

In hockey, goalies have always been a contradiction - solitary men in a team game, the last line of defence and the stalwarts expected to save the day after any and every miscue and collapse from his teammates. It's no wonder that anyone who played the position has had his sanity questioned; yet some of the biggest innovations in the game have come from its puckstoppers. In The Goaltenders' Union, Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen talk to more than 60 keepers of yesterday and today, finding a common thread in their stories and building a portrait of the goaltender.

'A pioneering and beloved Canadian legend comes to life Father David Bauer changed lives at the rink, in the classroom, and at the pulpit. Bauer's dream created the first truly national Canadian hockey team. In 1963, that unique group represented Canada abroad and were committed to both country and to Father Bauer. Whether shepherding the hockey program at St. Michael's College in Toronto or the men s national team out of the University of British Columbia, Bauer was both spiritual leader and trailblazer. Through exhaustive research and countless interviews, author Greg Oliver explores a Canadian icon, the teams that he put on the ice, and the rocky, almost unfathomable years of the 1970s when Canada didn't play international hockey. Finally, for the first time ever, the whole story of Father Bauer s critical importance to Canada's game is told in the rich detail it deserves, and a beloved icon is celebrated for his contributions to our nation's sporti

In pro hockey, enforcers are as popular with fans as the stars who cash the big paycheques. Called upon to duke it out with fellow troublemakers, or to shadow (and bruise) an opponent's top scorer, these men get the crowds out of their seats and the TV fans spilling their beers in excitement. Don't Call Me Goon gives the mayhem-makers their due by sharing their overlooked stories and contributions to the game. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge, research and interviews, Oliver and Kamchen highlights the players who have perfected the art of on-ice enforcing.
