The Next Ones traces how a fresh wave of talent reshaped the NHL. Through close profiles of players such as Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, the book examines why so many top scorers are now in their early twenties and how their routes to the pros differ from past generations.

Vivid anecdotes reveal varied beginnings: rollerblades and garage practices, tiny desert rinks, makeshift targets and family-driven development. These personal stories highlight different paths—early standouts, late bloomers and the obsessive drive that propelled each player forward.

The author travelled internationally to interview rising stars, teammates, coaches and scouts, assembling first-hand reporting that combines human detail with on-ice context. Readers gain insight into player development, scouting, and the cultural shifts behind hockey's newest stars.

Inside you'll find:

  • In-depth player profiles and origin stories
  • Interviews with players, families and hockey insiders
  • Analysis of the youth movement shaping today’s NHL
