Ken takes us through his incredible journey—from winning Olympic gold in the 1980 Miracle on Ice to capturing four straight Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders. We dive into what made those teams special, how the game has evolved, and what stands out in today’s NHL and playoffs.

Allan Kreda, who wrote the book on Ken’s career, adds deeper insight into the Islanders dynasty and the stories behind it.

A great mix of history, perspective, and today’s game.
