Backing the Bruins by Mike Commito - Dundurn

2025 was supposed to be a bad year to launch a Bruins book, but I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season for Bruins 365. Read more in my blog for Dundurn Press bit.ly/3XPnHyA

Being in a bookstore with your book during the holiday season is always one of my favourite times as an author. The music, the people, and the chance to share your work. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

It really does

No matter how many times I’ve seen it, John Candy’s “I like me” monologue in Planes, Trains and Automobiles always destroys me

It was a real treat to have @waub.bsky.social on the pod this week. As an author I admire, his insights meant a lot and he may have even convinced me to try my hand at fiction one day. Catch it on Eastlink or listen below.

So excited to welcome @waub.bsky.social to the Unlikely Innovators. Watch the conversation tonight at 8pm on Eastlink Community TV and listen tomorrow morning from wherever you get your podcasts.

If you ordered Bruins 365 from Amazon and are enjoying it so far, a positive review would go a long way. Please consider leaving a review: bit.ly/3LDnUll

Thanks so much!!!

My heart is full 🖤💛

75 years ago today, John Candy was born in Toronto, Ontario. A Canadian national treasure, he brought countless laughs and warmed many hearts. His loss is still felt immensely more than three decades after his passing. Happy heavenly birthday to Johnny Toronto 🇨🇦

Couldn’t think of a better way to kick off Bruins 365 release day than appearing on Breakfast Television this morning and chatting with Tim about the book. Watch the interview here: bit.ly/4qkpcBN

First Bruins 365 sighting in the wild

Thanks so much, Steven!

Last night was an incredible experience. Still so honoured and humbled to have had the opportunity to share my story for the Rotary Club of Sudbury’s Dine with the Author fundraiser. Thanks to everyone who came out to support Rotary’s literary efforts & celebrate Bruins 365 💛🖤

Natural hat trick

Unboxing books has seemed to become an annual family tradition in our house, but no matter how many times you’ve done it, it’s always such a special feeling to share that first glimpse of your book with the ones you love 📚 💕

I asked AI to make the Sudbury Wolves logo real, and the results are terrifying

As a tribute to Ken Dryden, I read The Game again, probably the first time I can honestly say I’ve re-read a book, and it’s just as magical as the first time I read it. Still the gold standard for me when it comes to hockey writing.

Please consider pre-ordering a copy of Bruins 365. Pre-orders help books succeed. They build a buzz and encourage larger orders from retailers. Preorders also count towards a book’s first week sales, which can help get it onto bestseller lists and continue to drive sales.
