This lot of eight 8 signed books by inspirational author and former hockey player Travis Roy would be a great gift for a youth hockey team or an auction item for a hockey booster group. All of the books come with their dust jacket and are personally signed by Travis Roy. The books are all in excellent condition, give-or-take, but the autographed page is in great shape on all of these.
From Wikipedia- "Travis Matthew Roy (born April 17, 1975 in Augusta, Maine, USA) is a philanthropist and former American college ice hockey player. Roy attended Yarmouth High School as a freshman, then transferred to nearby North Yarmouth Academy (NYA) in order to pursue an athletic scholarship. Roy transferred again and graduated from Tabor Academy and received an ice hockey scholarship to Boston University (College of Communications, Class of 2000). On October 20, 1995 – just eleven seconds into his first-ever shift for Boston University men's ice hockey team – a 20-year-old Roy slid head-first into the boards after University of North Dakota player Mitch Vig avoided Roy's check. The awkward impact with the boards resulted in Roy's cracking his fourth and fifth vertebra and leaving him a quadriplegic. Since the accident, he has regained movement in his right arm."
Here is the Amazon review for Eleven Seconds, which was first published January 1, 1998- "Within the 11 seconds that inspired this memoir, Travis Roy realized his dream, then smashed into his nightmare. On an October night in 1995, Roy, a talented young hockey player, skated onto the ice for his varsity debut with Boston University. Eleven fateful seconds later, he was paralyzed from the neck down. Aided by the sure touch of Sports Illustrated hockey writer E.M. Swift, Roy's moving account of his accident and his rehabilitation--confined to a wheelchair, he's gotten some use of his right arm back--avoids the maudlin. Instead, Eleven Seconds is filled with grit, hope, humor, and a thoughtful young man's introspection on the meaning of sports and the adjustments that follow when the ability to play them is taken away."
There are 4 books that are noted as "With an Afterword on Travis's Life Now" and 4 are earlier editions.
One of the books is signed "To Eunice, In honor of 20 years of life." Six are signed "Best wishes." One is signed on a blue book plate with no other writing.
