I saw a substack review from allsportsbookreviews.substack.com, and thought I would give it a read. The author, Brad Proteus, got a job with the San Jose Rhinos, a professional roller hockey team. He ended up becoming the GM of the team. He was in his mid 20’s, and this was the mid 90’s. In his 2nd year with the Rhinos, the team won the championship, which was known as the ‘Murphy Cup.”
He tells the story of how he got started in sports with the San Jose Sharks hockey expansion team in 1991 and the Rhinos a few years later. Thrown in are stories from the job, stories from being a young adult in that area, and references from the 90’s (which I really enjoyed as I remember a lot of them as I was 13 in 1990).
Overall, it was OK for me, and it was a quick read. It was more of, hey, I got a job for a sports team and this is what I did, and I got a championship ring.
