{"product_id":"9780919630970","title":"Eagle","description":"\"Eagle\" is the story of how hockey became a multi-million dollar business. For the first time, journalist Deidra Roberts-Clayton reveals the financial and corporate workings of Hockey Canada, the NHL Players' Association, the NHL-WHA merger, and the International World Hockey Tournaments. Alan Eagleson - World Hockey Czar, union boss for the National Hockey League Players' Association, business agent, Tory politician, investment counsellor, entrepreneur, negotiator extraordinaire - is undoubtedly one of sport's most celebrated and controversial figures. This unauthorized biography takes us inside the Eagleson empire. Roberts-Clayton draws an uncompromising picture of the public and private man through dozens of interviews with hockey greats - Bobby Orr, Marcel Dionne, Darryl Sittler - to Eagleson's own financial advisors and business colleagues. Above all, \"Eagle\" is a fascinating, penetrating biography of a complex individual who, perhaps more than anyone, has changed the face of sport in Canada.","brand":"Key Porter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028578255088,"sku":"9780919630970","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780919630970_p0.jpg?v=1763859169","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780919630970","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
