The Grim Reaper recounts the uncommon career of an NHL enforcer who pursued higher education while building a 17‑year professional hockey life. The narrative follows his choices on and off the ice, from confronting the game's toughest opponents to steering a second career in law.

The book explores the culture of fighting in hockey, the debate over head injuries and concussions, and the personal code that guided a player who refused to follow the usual script. Its perspective combines firsthand locker-room experience with legal and organizational insight.

Readers will find candid recollections, practical context about player safety, and a broader look at how athletes navigate identity, reputation, and post‑playing careers.
