Product Information
NHL and WHA goaltender Gilles Gratton was a lost soul. A troubled childhood created an adult with few inhibitions, and hockey's nomadic lifestyle--sex, drugs, booze--hid a pained search for identity. This book details Grattoony the Loony's quest to discover who he truly was.

Reviews
"Gratton's stories of life in the NHL are the best part of the book, and he doesn't hide the negative stories in his glove, unabashedly naming names ... The book as a whole is honest, open, and fun, and it's perfect for hockey fans, especially those who remember the '70s."-- Publishers Weekly, "Hockey has had its fair share of memorable characters, but none more so than Gilles Gratton. Now for the first time, the eccentric and outspoken goaltender shares his own 'unique' story, and what an interesting tale it is. From his childhood in Quebec, to his junior days in Oshawa, and his short, abbreviated stints in the WHA and the NHL, and beyond, it's all here, no holds barred. Written alongside noted hockey author Greg Oliver, Gratoony the Loony: The Wild, Unpredictable, Life of Gilles Gratton takes the reader on a personal journey quite unlike any other." -- Todd Denault, author of Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed the Face of Hockey , and The Greatest Game: The Montreal Canadiens, the Red Army, and the Night That Saved Hockey, "Gratton's stories of life in the NHL are the best part of the book, and he doesn't hide the negative stories in his glove, unabashedly naming names . . . The book as a whole is honest, open, and fun, and it's perfect for hockey fans, especially those who remember the '70s."-- Publishers Weekly "Even though Gratton only played in 47 NHL games in the 1975-76 and 1976-77 seasons, he achieved somewhat legendary status. His autobiography Gratoony the Loony: The Wild, Unpredictable Life of Gilles Gratton , co-written with Greg Oliver, shows how his quirks and actions fostered the image of the crazy goaltender. But it also tells the story of a French-Canadian boy growing up playing hockey and reaching the big stage while believing there was more to life than a hockey rink." -- SeattlePI.com "An almost impossible to believe life story, with an anti-hero cast that not even Slap Shot would dare to imagine. In the history of hockey, you'll never meet Gilles Gratton's equal. You'll read Gratoony the Loony in one gulp, mouth wide open. All that we've ever heard about him, all the legends, and all the mind-blowing and hilarious tales, are true." -- Marc Durand, author and reporter for CBC/Radio-Canada "Hockey has had its fair share of memorable characters, but none more so than Gilles Gratton. Now for the first time, the eccentric and outspoken goaltender shares his own 'unique' story, and what an interesting tale it is.

But sometimes, the very best stories are found by digging past the headlines and record books and into the game's oddball cast of supporting characters. And the hockey world hasn't produced many characters more fascinating than Gilles Gratton. From his memorable masks to his transcendental meditation to his naked practices, Gratoony the Loony has a fascinating story to tell, and hockey fans of all ages won't want to miss it." --Sean McIndoe, author of Down Goes Brown "Gratton and veteran sports writer Greg Oliver pull no punches in their warts-and-all look back on the ups and many downs of Gratton's life, both in and out of professional hockey." -- Winnipeg Free Press "Mr. Gratton's life is far from a conventional NHL player's life, and that's part of what makes Gratoony the Loony an enjoyable read...While hockey was his way of making some good money, it was never a priority to him. It did, however, provide a pile of hilarious stories and some great insight into Mr. Gratton's life." -- Hockey Blog in Canada "While he never goes out of his way to smear anyone, Gratton -- then or now -- isn't afraid to speak his mind . . . He isn't shy about addressing his actions or words that got him into trouble 40 years ago. No whitewashing here." - Puck Junk, "An almost impossible to believe life story, with an anti-hero cast that not even Slap Shot would dare to imagine. In the history of hockey, you'll never meet Gilles Gratton's equal. You'll read Gratoony the Loony in one gulp, mouth wide open. All that we've ever heard about him, all the legends, and all the mind-blowing and hilarious tales, are true." -- Marc Durand, author and reporter for CBC/Radio-Canada, Praise for previous works: The authors provide an entertaining account of goaltender personalities, the mental toughness required, and valuable insight into the careers of the best before, during and after their stints in the National Hockey League. Along the way, readers will learn about the influence television had on the introduction of the two-goalie system and many other interesting facts. Publishers Weekly on The Goaltenders Union [The book] offers a look at life away from the penalty box for NHL heavyweights past and present, giving a short glimpse into the lives of the only professional punchers outside the boxing ring. The book Don't Call Me Goon isn't simply a rehash of old statistics and newspaper articles. Authors Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen have done original interviews with players, adding live quotes and context to their work. London Free Press on Don't Call Me Goon While Oliver and Kamchen are newcomers to the world of hockey books, they have managed to put together something that is quite entertaining and takes the reader on an amazing journey from the tough-as-nails early days of the professional game to today's tough customers. Sportsology on Don't Call Me Goon The vintage look of the contracts and historical documents nicely shines through and captures the time period from when they were created. . . there is something of interest for every hockey fan. . . the content allows the reader to walk through the rich history of the game.
