Outspoken and opinionated, Brian Burke has never minced words nor shied from controversy.
The long-time executive turned television analyst uses the same gruff, candid narration that he employs in front millions of viewers on Hockey Night In Canada as he does to reflect on a career in hockey that has spanned no fewer than three decades in “Burke’s Law: A Life In Hockey”, co-authored by Stephen Brunt.
Having served a player agent and as a general manager or president of hockey operations for five different NHL teams, in addition to a five-year stint as the league’s executive vice-president of hockey operations (read: disciplinarian), Burke provides insightful commentary from varying perspectives.
