Summary

In From the Broadcast Booth , Brian McFarlane gathers a lifetime of his most cherished memories from his years in hockey. He was in the backrooms, the dressing rooms, the boardrooms and of course on-ice and in front of the camera as part of many of the most exciting, pivotal, challenging and humorous events in hockey history. These memories are retold here for the first time in the engaging, candid and colourful way that only McFarlane can that will thrill all fans of the game. "McFarlane has more integrity than any broadcaster I ever met. He was also the most controversial, the most talented broadcaster on Hockey Night in Canada."- Ralph Mellanby
