The day is finally here! My grandpa Bill Christian's memoir, Hockey for a Lifetime, is officially published.

I grew up hearing Grandpa's stories, and now everyone can read them. His story starts on the frozen river in Warroad, Minnesota, and takes you to Squaw Valley in 1960, behind the Iron Curtain, into the Christian Brothers stick shop, and through three generations of Team USA gold. Helping bring this book to life with him has been one of the proudest things I've ever done, and I can't wait for you to hold it in your hands.

Get your copy at the FriesenPress Bookstore: https://t.co/xTEFUY3fGe

Here's what early readers are saying:

"Bill Christian personifies much of the early history of American hockey, when the game's roots in this country can be traced to self-taught small town kids perfecting their skating, passing and shooting on frozen lakes and rivers. This is a fascinating recollection of the journey from those humble beginnings in Hockeytown USA to bringing the nation its first taste of Olympic hockey gold, and Bill's role as the patriarch of three generations of glory at the Winter Games."
- Michael Russo, Senior Writer, Minnesota Wild/NHL, The Athletic

"My time with Bill as a coach and mentor helped set me on the path to an amazing career in hockey. His stories of life in Warroad, travel behind the Iron Curtain, the original Olympic miracle, the formation of a hockey stick business and life as a father and grandfather of gold medal winners are outstanding for anyone with a love for American hockey."
- Jess Myers, Sports Reporter, Pioneer Press

"Avid hockey fans will love this book! And, even casual fans [like me] will find plenty to enjoy in this family and small-town story! ... I think of Bill as 'Mr. Hockey' [sorry Gordie]... but I also admire how, through it all... he's 'Mr. Modest.'"
- Allen Willoughby, former Winnipeg radio personality

Stay tuned: we're planning a launch book signing in Warroad! Visit https://t.co/VP3oubZMqc and sign up for updates so you're the first to hear the details.
Thank you to everyone who has followed along and cheered Grandpa on. Please share this post!

Courage was ordering a Mr. Misty on a 95-degree day and accepting the subsequent brain freeze that would inevitably make you regret you were born for at least eight seconds.
