Jim Harrison grew up on the prairies, played Junior in Saskatchewan, and pro with the Bruins, Leafs, Hawks, and Oilers. Three years before a former teammate equaled the mark, Harrison set one of the most enduring and seemingly unreachable records in professional hockey with three goals and seven helpers on January 30, 1973. And almost nobody remembers.
"The Lost 10 Point Night is a mixture of Harrison's recollections, former teammates' and coaches' reflections on Harrison, and Ward's own memories of Harrison from the 1970s. Not only does it paint a picture of a man who, though not a superstar, was an honest and respectable player, but also of the author's connection to the subject as a fan . . . It is Ward's contributions that make us understand why a third-line center from the 1970s is worthy of a book." -- Puck Junk
