The Story of Ottawa Senators Right Winger Chris Neil

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chris Neil-or Christopher, as his mother, Bonnie, called him-grew up with the ambition and desire to be an NHL hockey player. Through grit and determination, he achieved his goal and left an indelible mark on the Ottawa Senators franchise. Christopher spent many hours as a youngster in Ron and Cathy Pegg's home, providing the author with personal, first-hand knowledge of Neil the hockey player and the man. That friendship continues to this day. In this engaging biography, you'll meet the Neil family and the personalities from the world of hockey that guided and formed Chris Neil throughout his life-a life of athletics, community involvement, and faith. Christopher played over a thousand games in the NHL, all as a member of the Ottawa Senators. He became one of just over fifty players in the history of the league to play a thousand games with one team. The one thousandth game was played in Los Angeles, with his wife, Cait, and all the members of the Pegg family present. Christopher is not the final word on Neil's career, as he continues to serve the hockey community off the ice, but it does tell the tale of a life well lived so far and will inspire hockey fans and people of faith alike.

Autorenporträt

Ron Pegg has been an active believer and follower of Jesus Christ for more than seventy-five years. This book is about the growth of his faith over that time and how it continues to grow today. The main ministry God has given him is a ministry to young people. He often states that young people are his lifeblood. He taught high school for thirty-four years and has been a volunteer coach of 213 teams, many of whom have won provincial championships. He has coached seven boys who have gone on to play in the NHL. Ron was a Sunday school superintendent for more than twenty years and was the leader of a Vacation Bible School for almost fifteen years. This year will mark sixty-six years of serving as a lay supply preacher. He continues to work on community events and projects that many of his former students are involved in. Many of these former students are good friends, as some are approaching their late sixties. Family is extremely important to Ron. He and his wife Cathy, to whom he has been married for fifty-five years this summer, are enjoying their new home in Mount Forest. They are blessed by their three children and spouses, who provide Christian leadership in their environments-and then there are the fourteen grandbabies!
