It’s Not Just a Game: My Journey from the Streets to Professional Basketball

Where I am today all started from the bottom. I want to tell the story of my journey from there to here. Refusing to become a victim of his circumstances, Eric Crookshank went from a child counting his father’s drug money to a university graduate with a degree in business administration; from a benched teenager with dreams of conquering the basketball court to the captain of the National Basketball League of Canada’s Halifax Rainmen. Eric Crookshank has become a role model to a new generation of basketball players, both on and off the court. In this powerful story, Crookshank invites us to experience the highs and lows of his life so far as he overcomes adversity and grows into a leader.
