Description

An exciting, behind-the scenes look at the achievements of today's most talented young player!

On October 5, 2016, Connor McDavid made NHL history when, at the age of 19 years and 266 days, he was named captain of the Edmonton Oilers — the youngest captain in NHL history.

Connor's story is one of exceptional talent and hard work. This high-interest biography traces his life from growing up in a close-knit hockey family through an exceptional junior hockey career, international gold medals and the NHL, where he led his team to its first Stanley Cup playoffs in over a decade.

Includes photographs and 16 comic spreads!

Amazing Hockey Stories

This new series features an action-packed format combining the excitement of full-colour comic book illustration segments with lively text and lots of photographs, including some never before seen.
