Abstract

Joey Moss became known to many Canadians because of his work with the NHL Edmonton Oilers hockey team. Joey loved making people feel good. But his impact and influence started long before he joined the Oilers and went beyond the hockey world. Joey was born with Down syndrome at a time when many children like him were institutionalized. Instead, Joey lived at home, surrounded by his supportive family who was determined that he should receive the same opportunities as others. From this loving environment grew a caring, energetic man who went on to show the world that people like him could do many things and contribute greatly to society. The inspiring true story of Joey Moss comes alive in this heartwarming picture book for young readers.

Abstract

A multidimensional biography of one of Philadelphias ultimate power brokers. Most sports team owners make their money elsewhere and purchase a team as an extravagant hobby - but that is not the story of Ed Snider. One of the few owners in history to start a franchise by mortgaging nearly everything to his name, the Philadelphia Flyers founder would go on to form the billion-dollar empire of Comcast-Spectacor and cement his standing as one of the biggest movers and shakers in the citys history. Snider was ambitious and entrepreneurial, though his ferocious demands for perfection would scare some employees away. He was affectionate with his treasured family yet lacked emotional intelligence in other personal matters.
