INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
“Darryl is one of the great in-game coaches. That means trusting your gut, communicating clearly, and making adjustments on the fly. Like Scotty Bowman, Darryl’s ability to juggle all that is the stuff of legend, and The Code of the West shows that he applies those skills to life away from the rink. Friends, like teammates, don’t just tell friends what they want to hear. Darryl has given me and countless others a clear-cut approach for which I’m forever grateful.”
—Ron MacLean, bestselling author of Cornered and longtime Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster
“It’s no surprise to me that Darryl’s life in the NHL has led to a book that’s like the man himself—smart, simple, and direct.”
—Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the NHL
“Darryl was always there for me, and for a lot of guys I knew, not just when things were tough for me, but when things were tough for him. It’s not easy to know what makes Big D tick, but this book gives ten pretty awesome clues.”
—Brantt Myhres, former NHL player and bestselling author of Painkiller
“What might be most impressive about Darryl’s story is that his character was so fully forged by life on the farm that no amount of success or failure had a chance to change who he is. That’s something to aspire to for the rest of us.”
—Brian Burke, bestselling author of Burke’s Law, broadcaster, and NHL executive
“Darryl is one of the best hockey minds I have been around. Not only was he tactical, he knew what buttons to push and how to get the most out me and fellow teammates. Sometimes I didn’t like it, but when I look back on things, Darryl is my favorite coach and I appreciate everything he ever did for me.”
—Drew Doughty, Stanley Cup-winning defenseman
