The Longest Shot: How Larry Kwong Changed the Face of Hockey
PREFACE When I was a kid in the 1980s my grandfather George Soon told me about one of his heroes a Chinese Canadian hockey player named Larry Kwong who was a star of the 1940s and 50s I read every hockey book and magazine I could find but not even one mentioned Kwong's name Decades later a newspaper article by journalist Tom Hawthorn reminded me of that mysterious name from the past In 2007 there was little else about Larry Kwong on the internet So I phoned the then 84 year old man himself I thanked Larry for inspiring my grandpa I asked him to share his story with me He graciously did over countless hours during weekly calls and on many visits for more than 10 years until his death in 2018 I miss Larry my hero and friend The story of his life never ceases to amaze me I hope you feel the same Chad Soon
