The man known as Jeremy Roenick, or J.R., never held back on the ice, whether it was firing a shot past the goalie or laying out an opponent. With a twenty-year career spanning five NHL teams, Roenick's bold playing style often landed him in the spotlight off the ice as well. Now, as a hockey broadcaster and media figure, he continues to captivate audiences with his quick wit and sharp opinions. In J.R., Roenick holds nothing back, from his early days in youth hockey, to his time with the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers, and beyond, to his experiences representing Team USA internationally. From his infamous feud with Patrick Roy, to his famous "kiss my ass" speech, to his claims of bias against American players, Roenick shares his unfiltered thoughts on it all, including his perspective on Wayne Gretzky and the Phoenix Coyotes.
