Our in-depth biography details Mario Lemieux's incredible story-his first tentative steps on the ice as a two-year-old, his rise as hockey's most ballyhooed prospect, his glory years with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his successful fight against Hodgkin's disease, his early retirement and purchase of the Pittsburgh franchise, and finally, his triumphant return to the ice in December 2000. Also included are an eight-page, full-color photo insert, Mario trivia, and Mario's full career statistics.
