Bryan Berard Talks About His Life’s Challenges in His New Book “Relentless”
Thursday, November 07, 2019
The kid from Woonsocket had it all going - #1 pick in the NHL draft, a world-class athlete, fame of playing professional sports and money, but in one moment of a game, a stick hits his eye jeopardizing his career and vision. But, that didn’t stop Bryan Berard.
He fought back to regain his career and functionally play the fastest game with just one eye.
While not quite the same, Berard rebuilt his career.

Nope. That didn’t stop Berard either. Now he has rebuilt his career again and works for one of the region’s top wealth management firms — WhaleRock Point Partners.
Berard discussed his new book on Wednesday on GoLocal LIVE.
His new autobiography written with hockey writer Jim Lang titled “Relentless: My Life in Hockey and the Power of Perseverance,” tracks the success, failures and Berard’s ability to overcome the toughest challenges.
While an eye and millions have been taken from him, Berard has demonstrated his resilience and today is a key player in transforming his own high school — the storied Mount St. Charles Academy into a modern sports academy.
“Relentless” is that holiday gift for those needing inspiration and motivation to take on their own life’s challenges.
The book can be purchased on Amazon and other leading retailers.
