"For the first time, the legendary Hall of Fame hockey player and six-time Stanley Cup champion tells the impressive story of his life and career, and shares the lessons he's learned about leadership."--From publisher.

"Mark Messier is one of the most accomplished athletes in the history of professional sports. He was a fierce competitor with a well-earned reputation as a winner. But few people know his real story, not only of the astonishing jouney he took to making NHL history but also of the deep understanding of leadership and respect for the power of teamwork he gained. Messier tells of his early years with his tight-knit family, learning especially from his father, Doug - a hockey player, coach, and teacher. He describes what it was like entering the NHL as an eighteen-year-old with a wild side and growing close with teammmates Wayne Gretzky, Kevin Lowe, Paul Coffey, Glenn Anderson, and others during their high-flying dynasty years with the Edmonton Oilers. He chronicles summers spent looking for inspiration and renewed energy on trips to far-flung destinations around the world. And he recounts the highs, lows, and hard work that brought the New York Rangers to the ultimate moment for a hockey club: lifting the Stanley Cup. Throughout, Mark Messier shares insights about success, winning cultures, and how leaders can help teams overcome challenges. Told with heart and sincerity, 'No One Wins Alone' is about more than hockey -- it's about the deep love and gratitude that come from a life shared with others." --From the publisher.
