Bill Flanagan began his hockey life as a stick boy on his dad's national champion Burlington Midget teams before becoming a prep school all-star at Austin Prep and Canterbury School and a D-1 force at RPI when a fluke slapshot to the head abruptly ended his playing career. In ONE LAST SHIFT, Flanagan recounts how he reinvented himself as a coach known for passion and blue-collar grit, refusing to give up the game he loved. Over 33 thrilling years behind the bench, Coach Bill supercharged a losing Austin Prep program back into a regional powerhouse and then teamed up with his brother Joe to create the Northern Cyclones, one of the country's premier hockey programs.
While racking up Coach of the Year awards, a winning percentage of 74.42%, multiple championships, and 300+ college hockey commitments, Coach Bill made a name for himself as a trailblazer in the high-stakes world of hockey development. His biggest accomplishment of all may have been mentoring his own daughter, Kali, to a D1 scholarship at BC and then an unforgettable run to the Olympic gold medal in South Korea in 2018. Packed with life lessons, tricks of the trade, and an undying love for the game, ONE LAST SHIFT is inspiring and heartfelt, destined to become a trusted playbook for sports parents, aspiring coaches, and fans of ice hockey.
