Kostiantyn Simchuk, goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine, master of sports of international class
This book is about the most outstanding goalkeeper in the history of hockey, Taras Savchuk, a Ukrainian by birth, a man with 400 scars, as the newspapers of that time called him. His name is listed in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and his record - 103 "dry" victories - over forty years, no one can beat. Taras Savchuk's life is a story about the fact that dreams and love are stronger than congenital diseases, incompatible with sports, terrible daily injuries and the risk of never going on the ice again. Where did he get the strength to play hockey and be the best in it throughout his career? Why was he intolerant of communication? What did you hide from the world? Who did he long for all his life, and to whom did he dedicate his victories?
