- As one of the NHL’s most polarizing players, Sean Avery turned the rules of professional hockey on its head. For thirteen seasons, Avery played for some of the toughest, most storied franchises in the league, making his mark in each city as a player that was sometimes loved, often despised, but always controversial. In "Ice Capades: A Memoir of Fast Living and Tough Hockey" Avery takes his trademark candidness about the world of pro hockey. Avery goes deep inside the sport to reveal every aspect of an athlete’s life, from what they do with their money and nights off to how they stay sharp and competitive in the league.

Love him or hate him, he is honest and clearly explains what a lot of athletes would never do! The NHL is boring and we still don't know a lot of the players!
I appreciate honest people like Sean.
Love Avery, he's got to be the most interesting hockey player ever. Going to pick up this book.

@@robertharvey9047 yes food... I will probably eat too.
Put him in place on Don on coaches corner
He was talking about leo komarov at the very start. He speaks 5 languages and plays the piano really well
Do one about Tortorella’s rule about “Whoever disrespects the flag will not play.”
Great interviewer
The book is good reading especially the Rachel Hunter,L.A.Kings ,Lock out parts.Still like to know why he wacked Tim Thomas in the head.
Avery is an eccentric! ...loll...
Personally, I don't like Avery because of his methods on the ice, but the one thing I give him credit for is that he decided to man up, he wrote his book explaining what he did when he was a hockey player and even appeared on Boomer.
He’s one of those guys (in any sport) that you loved if he was on your team, but hated his guts if you played against him. He’s a classic villain, understands it, and would probably do well in the WWE if he was bigger.
Avery was in my mind last night. At the forefront was this person so much like who I've always wanted for my lover (I'm gay and I am proud) I am glad to see that he's very articulate and well spoken and it would be really good if more NHL players got to show off their personality and not be manhandled by the industry. I have spent over half my life trying to be a musician and let me tell you get your heroes to be hockey players like I am doing now the music industry is pure death and disaster. My biggest inspirations have all died.
Why are there two titles too this book
I was wondering the same thing. I have no idea in wich to buy, are they the same book?
Yeah same book. Offside is the Canadian version.
Hey! thanks for answering! Why though, is there a canadian version? is that one any different to the other?
I would think that the Ice Capades name maybe has some licensing here in Canada that the US doesn't. But other then that not sure if anything else is different. So far the book has been a great read! You should get it.
His book is already marked down 50% in my town with dozens of them sitting on the cart.
He's uninteresting. Just a loud mouth blow hard that needs to come out of the closet.
Sean Avery's book just perfect for your paper shredder
Have not seen you in Hollywood Sean 🤷♂️😏

The interviewer obviously didn't study journalism. He is botching all his questions by asking more than one question in the same sentence. This is a death sentence to an interesting question, since the interviewee will answer the question that sparks his own interest first and the rest of the questions he was asked will never be answered. Ask one question at a time and don't confuse the person you are interviewing: you will get a lot more interesting material and people will enjoy it a lot more.
90% of interviewers and reporters are like this. They’re more interested in boxing in people, getting a sound byte out of context, and then running with it. The interviewer is wearing Tretorns - says it all, lol.
I dont remember him beating the crap out of anyone
Ice Capades would accurately describe his style, effectiveness and his level of intimidation
Always interesting is Avery, however, he is an arrogant individual to compare himself to Tony Romo and his ability to change careers after his playing days.
he s cute
i bet he didnt write shit just gave teh brains the breakdowns.
Read his book. For as much shit as ‘hockey’ people talk on him, he’s brilliant. He picked up a shitty rep for the character he became, but he’s right about the NHL’s marketing. Getting rid of fighting was stupid. The game of hockey has the most potential for storylines. Perfect example: Colorado/Detroit in 97. Even the casual sports fan had the date of their first game against each other circled after Lemieux buried Draper.
17:36 The guy interned at Vogue, of course he’s cool with gay people.
19:47 what’s going on in the NFL today has nothing to do with gay people. Nice stretch.
This guy reminds me of Tiger Williams. Both claimed the game was boring after they left- that it was somehow of a dead boring era of hockey. Both were shameless/ irrelevant self-promoters.
the game IS more boring than it was only a few years ago. it's just dump n chase hockey now with little creativity. get the puck on net or deep and crash. the implementation of these obnoxious slashing penalties, over protecting goalies n their crease, the continual showcase of the same 2 players. and they wonder why NHL cannot grow bigger, marketing is just awful. not that high on the list for me, but no olympics as well... also winter classic is now just a futile marketing attempt too rather than something special. haven't watched one since 2012. would rather have one once every other year at least... that event is completely saturated and stale now.
It 100% is a different game. Any fights that happen are broken up quick, dump and chase. Nobody even sticks a glove in someone’s face. He’s right. It’s a burning game.
The only problem with your comparison is that Woods was absolutely dominant in his sport, Avery wasn’t. Secondly, after Tiger had his spinal fusion surgery he returned to top form and won. Avery didn’t. I’d hardly consider Tiger Woods “irrelevant.” Few people outside of hockey know Sean Avery. Everyone knows Tiger Woods. Why shouldn’t Tiger Woods grow his brand? The guy was the star of golf for years. Why should the guy turn down endorsement deals? As for Avery, I never really was a fan. He plays up his fighting more than what really happened in his career. I largely remember him being an asshole agitator, but when somebody got sick of his shit and wanted to fight, he’d assume the turtle position. Avery is right about hockey though. It’s really watered down. The new slashing rules are a joke and there’s far too many penalties being called. Fighting and enforcers have been phased out so now you have more rat players taking free shots on guys that they wouldn’t have done otherwise because they know a beating would have followed. I’m concerned about CTE, but there’s research that indicates players don’t get concussions from fighting at nearly the same rate as collisions, elbows, etc.
Who is Tiger Williams??
Quite possibly the most despised and hated player in the history of the game. He lives in NY because he is no longer welcome in Canada. He must be running low on cash.
shankster huh?? Hardly " the most hated"..
Living in NYC = Running low on cash. Sure
Not even close LOL. He wasn't nearly that bad on the ice. I don't even give a shit about the things he said off the ice. I hate guys who ruin careers like Matt Cooke. Sean Avery is hated because he refused to conform to the stupid ass hockey code off the ice of basically never doing or saying anything interesting. He did conform to the on ice code.
yep...because Canadians are a lot less accepting of people with alternative lifestyles....sadly
No. Claude Giroux is. He beat my Rangers in the shootout. Peter Laviolette is the most hated coach for using his pregame speech to steal that game from my Rangers and knock the Rangers out of the playoffs and make the playoffs that same day and eventually the Stanley Cup Final. It was illegal for the Flyers to win that game, especially en route to a Finals berth because they had no chance on paper and the Flyers were born to lose. Their fans, looking at my Rangers jersey, told me to “Take that jersey and go back to India” and that was a racist thing to say. I love the Penguins, mainly because I hate the Flyers.
Marsha.... with all due respect....what gave you the inclination to indulge into a conversation about his stuttering?? I never mentioned that in my comments. I couldn't care less about a stuttering problem. You're creating a conversation that relates....in no way....to this particular topic. A stuttering issue is FAR different than a dementia issue. Also....my father had dementia in the last year of his life. I don't speak poorly of anyone going through cognitive disabilities of any kind. I do .... however.....find it rediculous to vote for a national leader....the President of the United States.... knowing that he was mentally challenged to perform the duties expected of his job.
