Description
Drafted first overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1989, Mats Sundin immediately established himself as one of the most exciting players in the NHL. His perfect combination of skill, size, and speed make him almost impossible for other teams to contain. Since being traded to Toronto in 1994 for fan favourite Wendel Clark, Sundin's rise has been meteoric. Toronto's leading scorer every year since he joined the team, in 1997 he became the first European to captain the Leafs. In this book, general editor Scott Morrison and writer Lance Hornby provide a fascinating look at one of hockey's greatest stars. Illustrated with over 75 colour photos and filled with interesting statistics, this is the perfect gift for any Leafs fan. (2000)
