Sports Snaps Chris Pronger: The Captain

As a kid his nickname was "chaos," as a junior hockey player some people thought he was nonchalant or indifferent, but hockey fans now know him as a steady, careful, deliberative defenseman. Readers of Chris Pronger: The Captain will see how the "chaos" of youth has been tempered and matured into one cool, calm, captain. Jeff Gordon, sportswriter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and contributor to The Hockey News, Total Hockey and a variety of hockey publications, through interviews with Chris discusses some of the problems and pressures that an elite hockey player faces. There is a lot of prominence and perks that are given to an elite player but how to bridle the responsibilities and pressures that go with that fame are a large part of this book.
