Book excerpt: As a left winger for the Philadelphia Flyers, Brian Propp was constantly in motion, racking up goals and assists and amassing over one thousand points during 15 NHL seasons. In retirement, he scarely slowed down, chasing opportunities in business, broadcasting, and leadership. But his life was changed forever on September 3, 2015, when he suffered a massive brain stroke. The life-threatening event temporarily took away Propp's ability to speak and walk. It required several years of dedicated rehabilitation just to return to normal life. In Angel On My Wing, Propp shares the full story of his personal journey on the ice and beyond— one of triumph, heartbreak, then determination. Today, he provides hope and motivation for other stroke victims. This candid chronicle of rebirth through hard work, discipline, patience, and faith will resonate among hockey fans and throughout the recovery community.
