Jean Beliveau: My Life In Hockey
My Life in Hockey is the compelling autobiography of Jean Béliveau, one of the most revered figures in professional hockey. Co-written with Chrys Goyens and Allan Turowetz, the book chronicles Béliveau’s journey from humble beginnings in rural Quebec to becoming a legendary centreman for the Montreal Canadiens during their golden era in the 1950s and 1960s.
Béliveau shares vivid memories of his early passion for the game, his rise through junior and senior leagues, and his eventual signing with the Canadiens in 1953—one of the most anticipated rookie contracts in NHL history. Over nearly two decades, he amassed 507 goals and 712 assists in 1,125 games, won ten Stanley Cups, and became known not just for his skill, but for his grace, leadership, and sportsmanship.
Beyond the rink, the book explores his post-retirement role as a senior executive with the Canadiens and his continued influence as a statesman of the sport. Packed with anecdotes, reflections, and tributes, My Life in Hockey is both a personal memoir and a tribute to the enduring spirit of the game.
