Product Description
Product Description
As one of Canada’s best-known mavericks of industry, Peter Pocklington is both reviled and revered. This is, after all, the man who both signed and sold Gretzky. Love him or hate him, Peter Pocklington has never been dull. Even now, he continues to draw headlines. On March 11, 2009, he was arrested on fraud charges. He could face up to 10 years in federal prison.
In I’d Trade Him Again, Pocklington’s story is told for the first time. It’s a story of hockey and baseball, of politics and trade unions, of entrepreneurship and commitment. Above all, it’s the story of how one man’s resolve and tenacity catapulted him from small-town car dealer to one of the most famous personalities in Canadian sports and business. Like Pocklington himself, it’s a story that’s never dull.

Intriguing and worth the money,
By Abby West (Palm Springs, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I'd Trade Him Again: On Gretzky, Politics and the Pursuit of the Perfect Deal (Hardcover)
Well, the first review wasn't very informative, was it. First reviewer should've read the book before sounding off. Had a sneak peek today and Pockington's story, as backed up by several in-the-know sports and business figures, is the first real look at the other side of the stories, and not the first to point the finger right back at the Alberta government and its banking arm, the ATB. Found both the sports and business stories to be a good read, and I don't even care for hockey!
