Publisher's Synopsis
Among all the American hockey defensemen, Jakob Chychrun's story is one of the most inspiring. The moment he stepped onto the ice, he changed right away. He had the required skills, tenacity, and will to follow his goal. Driven to create his own road, he was the hardest worker in the room as he came from a family that understood what it meant to be a professional athlete. Driven by his love of the game, he entered the junior hockey level and played for the Toronto Jr. Canadiens and subsequently the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League. At times it was tough. Watching team after team pass him up until the Arizona Coyotes gave him his chance, he felt his dream slipping ever farther away on draft day. After establishing himself, he became a star; he was moved to Ottawa and then Washington, where he kept flying. His persistence, ambition, and unwillingness to quit make his life an inspiration. This book will show Jakob Chychrun's journey.
