In stores now, Tie Domi's Simon & Schuster memoir Shift Work tells the tale of hockey, family, and a man who is still guarded about revealing too much.
At the center of the book you sense it is coming. After some tough but honest chapters about the life of a hockey enforcer, you begin to think about the names you've heard lately. Derek Boogaard. Steve Montador. You begin to ponder the hefty issues that plague people in this role. And you wonder whether Tie Domi will address the darkness that always lurks just at the edge of the enforcer's life in the NHL.
