Hitch, Hockey's Unsung Hero, is Pam Coburn's first book, a biography about her grandfather, Lionel Hitchman, the first player to have his sweater retired by the Boston Bruins. To chronicle this untold story, she immersed herself in the world of hockey from a bygone era. In her younger days, Pam played some hockey, but as a figure skating coach, she spent more time helping hockey players improve their skating skills. She also played varsity basketball at the University of Ottawa. Transferring to LaSalle College in Philadelphia, Pam continued to coach skating while completing a business degree. After returning to Canada, she took on progressively complex management positions and spent nearly ten years at Skate Canada as Executive Director and CEO. Pam currently owns a firm specializing in digital communications. With her first book finished, Pam hopes to bring other meaningful stories forward.
