  The
fascinating memoir of the NHL′s reigning turnaround king One of the most respected executives in the NHL, Jim
Devellano′s phenomenal record of 13 championship rings (including three Stanley Cups for both the New York
Islanders and the Detroit Red Wings) is also the story of shrewd trades and brave, if not unorthodox, business
decisions. His new memoir takes readers behind the scenes into the offices of a general manager and provides an inside
look at what players and coaches are really like; how decisions are made on draft day; and how deals and trades are
done. He also sheds light on the miraculous turnaround of the Detroit Red Wings and how such decisions as recruiting
from behind the Iron Curtain have left their indelible mark on the game. Jim Devellano (Detroit, MI, and Sarasota, FL)
is the Senior VP of the Detroit Red Wings. Roger Lajoie (Toronto, ON) is the well–known host of The FAN 590 and a
North American correspondent for the Reuters News Agency.
  
  Product Description
  From the Inside
Flap
  He’s known simply as Jimmy D. He never played or coached, but Jim Devellano has lived his life in
hockey and is one of the most respected executives in the game. He is the owner of 14 championship rings, seven of which
are for Stanley Cup wins—three with the New York Islanders and four with the Detroit Red Wings—and he has
been instrumental in building the teams that won them. From his humble beginnings in the working–class
neighborhood of Cabbagetown in Toronto of the 1940s, to the years of glory and parades in Hockeytown, Jimmy D. has seen
it all along the way. The Road to Hockeytown gives a rare glimpse inside the world of hockey from an unusual
perspective—through the eyes of one of the game’s greatest executives. This candid, personal account of
Jim Devellano’s life and his more than 40 incredible years in the game of hockey gives an insider’s
insight into the business and personalities of the game and a behind–the–scenes look at what the players
and coaches are really like; how they are assessed, hired, and fired; how decisions are made on draft day; and how deals
and trades really get done. Since he broke into the NHL in 1967 as a volunteer scout with the St. Louis Blues,
he’s seen the league expand from six teams to thirty, and been at the forefront of the game’s development.
He was instrumental in hiring talented coaches such as Al Arbour with the New York Islanders and Scotty Bowman in
Detroit, and in assembling one of the very first strong European scouting staffs. He was at the center of the wheeling
and dealing that brought a crop of talented Russians like Sergei Fedorov, Slava Kozlov, and Vladimir Konstantinov from
behind the Iron Curtain to the NHL. And, as a minority owner of Maple Leaf Gardens stock, was caught in the middle of
the very public power struggle for the Gardens after Harold Ballard’s death. On his watch with three different
teams, he’s brought an all–star lineup of players into the NHL, including Denis Potvin, Bryan Trottier,
Mike Bossy, Clark Gillies, Bob Probert, Nicklas Lidstrom, Kelly Hrudey, Vladimir Konstantinov, Sergei Fedorov, Chris
Osgood, and Steve Yzerman (his very first draft pick as GM!). The first person hired by Mike and Marian Ilitch in 1982,
he’s seen the Red Wings go from the basement of the NHL to the pride of Detroit and been a key part of that
amazing turnaround. Jimmy D. has left his indelible mark on the game of hockey everywhere he has gone, from Cabbagetown
to Hockeytown. As told to veteran journalist and broadcaster Roger Lajoie, The Road to Hockeytown is a fascinating
memoir of a life lived in hockey.
  From the Back Cover
  SPORTS/HOCKEY "Although Jimmy never played
professional hockey himself, he was born with an intense love for the game and has devoted his life to hockey. He lives
and breathes the game. Hockey is better off because of Jimmy Devellano." —From the Foreword by Mike and Marian
Ilitch, Owners, Detroit Red Wings "Though he has never scored a goal, blocked a shot or thrown a body check, Jim
Devellano contributed to seven Stanley Cup championships over three separate decades. An accomplishment of that
magnitude is testament to his foresight, his insight and his hockey sense." —Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner "He
is my mentor. He gave me my first opportunity to get into the business. When he came to Detroit, one of the things he
talked about was he was never going to trade a draft pick. He′s a tremendous architect." —Ken Holland,
General Manager, Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings "He had what I would consider an outstanding career. He started
from the very, very bottom and has worked his way up to, I would say, the top echelon in the league. I made him look so
good, Mike Ilitch called me and stole him to Detroit." —Bill Torrey, Former General Manager, New York Islanders
"He is a truly respected hockey man who deserves all accolades that have been presented to him. However, where he has
helped me the most is in understanding the sports environment in the city of Detroit. Jimmy spent countless hours
advising me on this sports landscape upon my arrival in Michigan." —Dave Dombrowski, President & General
Manager, Detroit Tigers (MLB) "For more than the past 40 years Jim Devellano has had his hands on the hockey pulse. His
remarkable accomplishments make him a Hockey Icon. Congratulations." —Scotty Bowman, Consultant, Detroit Red
Wings
