This leather-bound "For the Love of Hockey" book was produced in 1997 by Field of Dreams and the NHLPA, and is the personal copy that was presented to Jean Ratelle. Featured are the personal stories of hockey stars spanning various eras and the signatures of each of the 92 greats profiled within these pages on a large colour photo page. Numbered “066” out of the 100 copies, the "Signature Series Players' Edition" set of 100 was produced exclusively for each of the hockey stars who took part in the project. Featured are the signatures of deceased HOFers Richard, Worsley and Beliveau, as well as Ratelle, Orr, Lemieux, Gretzky, Roy, Mikita, Cournoyer and others. An signed LOA from Jean Ratelle will accompany.
Wayne Gretzky's signature has an Upper Deck Authenticated holofoil, which corresponds to a UDA certificate of authenticity attached to his bio.
