Ken Morrow was the first to accomplish both feats in the same year, playing for the United States in the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980 at Lake Placid, then following that up by claiming the Cup with the New York Islanders at the conclusion of his rookie season. Morrow would go on to win three more consecutive titles with that Islanders dynasty and play his entire 10-season NHL career on Long Island as an elite, steadfast defenseman. In a new memoir, Morrow gives hockey fans a front-row seat to one of the most remarkable stretches of dominance in NHL history. Inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995, Morrow has been director of pro scouting for the Isles since 1992 and shares more than 40 years of hockey lore in this fascinating chronicle of a legendary life in hockey. Co-authored by longtime hockey writer Allan Kreda, this autobiography is a must-read for fans of the Blue and Orange.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781637273616","publication_date":"20250930","publisher":"Triumph Books","slug":"ken-morrow","subtitle":"Miracle Gold, Four Stanley Cups, and a Lifetime of Islanders Hockey","title":"Ken Morrow"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JNF054070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Hockey","score":0.7288,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SPO003030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Baseball History","score":0.7035,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SPO061010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Basketball Coaching","score":0.7012,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JNF054070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Hockey","score":0.7288,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SPO003030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Baseball History","score":0.7035,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SPO061010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Basketball Coaching","score":0.7012,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BIO016000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SPO020000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports & Recreation / Hockey","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SPO058000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Olympics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TRV025050","confidence_band":"high","label":"Middle Atlantic Travel (NJ, NY, PA)","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Hockey","score":0.7288,"slug":"hockey"},{"label":"Baseball History","score":0.7035,"slug":"baseball-history"},{"label":"Basketball Coaching","score":0.7012,"slug":"basketball-coaching"}],"reader_fit":["Hockey fans interested in Ken Morrow’s career and hockey history","New York Islanders fans"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Wayne Coffey"],"book_id":"9781400047666","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781400047666.jpg?v=ae947e5c8bfbed5c","score":0.7546,"title":"The Boys of Winter","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781400047666"},{"authors":["Mike Eruzione","Neal Boudette"],"book_id":"9780062960955","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062960955.jpg?v=f78e629af7ae72b1","score":0.7275,"title":"The Making of a Miracle","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062960955"},{"authors":["Bill Madden"],"book_id":"9781637277157","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781637277157.jpg?v=0172f9040ba448eb","score":0.6569,"title":"Yankees, Typewriters, Scandals, and Cooperstown","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781637277157"},{"authors":["Ken Samelson"],"book_id":"9781510713819","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781510713819.jpg?v=f3a3b6b7aace520c","score":0.6402,"title":"Incredible Baseball Stories","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781510713819"},{"authors":["Meg Braithwaite"],"book_id":"9781443457347","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781443457347.jpg?v=089779f8a45711cc","score":0.6346,"title":"I Can Read Hockey Stories: Hockey at Home","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781443457347"},{"authors":["Christie Casciano"],"book_id":"9781595310378","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781595310378.jpg?v=dd41acb503c581fb","score":0.6342,"title":"Puck Hog","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781595310378"},{"authors":["Howard Shapiro","Marica Inoue"],"book_id":"9780991255016","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780991255016.jpg?v=74de8f7569022f01","score":0.6307,"title":"The Hockey Saint","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780991255016"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:hockey history"],"label":"History","score":0.4536,"slug":"history"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:the boys of winter"],"label":"Boys","score":0.4174,"slug":"boys"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:winter sports"],"label":"Sports","score":0.0679,"slug":"sports"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:hockey biographies"],"label":"Biographies","score":0.0616,"slug":"biographies"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:olympic games"],"label":"Games","score":0.0314,"slug":"games"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Hockey memoir, Olympic and Stanley Cup achievements, Islanders hockey history.","Themes: History, Boys, Sports.","Reading lane: Hockey and Baseball History."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Hockey fans interested in Ken Morrow’s career and hockey history","New York Islanders fans"],"themes":["Hockey memoir","Olympic and Stanley Cup achievements","Islanders hockey history"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":43,"goodreads_reviews_count":9,"quality_score":0.8547}}
