Anatoly Tarasov is the brightest and most versatile coaching figure in our hockey history, the founder of the national hockey school and a real coaching genius. He was the main promoter of our hockey traditions and an authority in the hockey world. The text of this book was typed on a typewriter with his own hand. On sheets of paper yellowed by time, publishers found stories by Antoliy Vladimirovich about Canadians - the founders of hockey - and about Russians who followed their own path in it, about the work of a hockey mentor, about the cutting of original talents, about his star students - Firsov, Kharlamov, Tretiak... the long-term duel between the USSR/Russia and Canada, about the future of hockey and much more that only this great man could know and talk about.
