Journeyman Book Reviews
Journeyman by Sean Pronger Book Summary
Every young hockey player dreams of one day playing in the NHL, of skating on a line with his hero and drinking champagne in the dressing room after winning the Stanley Cup. But kids should watch what they wish for. They may make it to the pros, like Sean Pronger, only to end up playing for sixteen teams over eleven seasons. They may end up on a team with a guy like the Great One, but skate on his line only in practice when the bona fide first-line centre has the flu. And they may end up drinking champagne only because their little brother wins the Stanley Cup. Anyone who's gotten to the NHL the hard way has a story to tell. No one knows the game better than the guys on the fourth line who fight for their jobs every night. They know all too well what it's like to watch from the press box or, worse, to be sent to the minors or traded. Sean Pronger has seen it all. He's played for legendary coaches like Pat Burns and gone head-to-head with guys such as Doug Gilmour and Steve Yzerman in the faceoff circle. He was on the ice for perhaps the most notorious violent attack in recent hockey history. While playing in the minors in Winnipeg, he guzzled beer in an ice-fishing hut with grizzled veterans like John MacLean, and while playing in Europe, he caused international incidents with guys such as Doug Weight. Full of hilarious stories and self-deprecating jokes, Journeyman is a story not only about achieving a dream, but about realizing you've achieved it.

Laugh Out Loud. Witty, funny and well written. Sean was able to give the fan a rare inside look and perspective on what it's like to grind in the NHL. I was still yearning for more outrageous stories when I finished.
If you're a hockey fan it's a Must Read!. The book was vastly entertaining and educational in terms of the great game of hockey. It's an easy enjoyable read that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys hockey. A true roller coaster of a read with exciting highs and heartwarming dips. I came away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding for the players. Watching hockey will never be the same for me ever again and that's a great thing. Thanks Prongs! For letting us all in on your fantastic story. As far as this hockey fan is concerned Chris will always be the other brother from now on.
The lesser side of hockey. Fantastic look at what the non-stars of the NHL experience.
Journeyman. Great read. A very different perspective. Hilarious at times. Enjoyed the Pronger wit!
Wonderful. Perhaps my favorite hockey book to date. Sean’s self awareness, his ability to laugh at himself, and his wit and love of irony make this a fantastic look into the career of a fringe player. As well, the added intrigue of his being Chris’s older brother add greatly to the story. Sean is a true Hockey spokesman and he “gets” game in ways that a star or entitled player may never see. This is an absolute must for any level of hockey fan.
What a GREAT book!. Sean Pronger with Dan Murphy, have written a fantastic book full with wit and humor. Being from Denmark and only having followed the NHL for a couple of year, this book gave me great insight into the life of being a professional Hockey player, and the battle it is to become a regular NHL player.
