Book Synopsis

No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress-ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. In A Matter of Inches, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death—twice.

    This book is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I truly opened this book because I was curious about the famous state-blade accident, but I walked away from this book with so much more. Thank you Clint for being so open about your life and for being vulnerable. So many people can connect to how you felt at different times and it’s just a great book to know you’re not alone. 10/10 recommend.

    The pages turn without notice as the story unfolds, bare truths are exposed and for those with an open heart, these truths are painfully internalized in a way that compels the reader to a level of personal honesty that is soulfully rewarding. Thank you Clint for touching my spirit and revealing my inner demons in order for me to seek help also.
