Anti-Climatic Endings and How To Prevent Them

The book "My Life on Ice" has a rather anti-climatic ending. The ending isn't anti-climatic because he has quit drinking and partying but because he is stuck on a farm team in the level below the NHL and has no real intense NHL level action going on around him. This makes me think that he should have waited another year or two to write or at least finish this book. I believe that if he would have waited he could have included more of the writing process and how he felt about writing this book and how he felt about his NHL career picking up again like it did. The ending makes you feel sad because it feels like he fought through all of his own problems and addictions and played harder then ever before just to be told that he was not good enough by the Detroit Red-wings. Jordin writes about the difficulties of playing in Detroit and being sent down to minors negatively as he says "When you believe in yourself good things are supposed to happen, but it sure didnt feel that way when I was in Grand Rapids. I started wondering about the future." This quote shows how even though Jordin had battled through hell and beat his addictions a good future did not come in the NHL. As a result of this I believe he should've started writing the book like he did and then when he retires from hockey or just before he retired he should have finished and published it. This is because Jordins story and NHL career gets better as he goes on to play for the New Jersey Devils and is currently with the Chicago Black-hawks. He could than have included how his career got better and how he dealt with being in the minors and the feeling of getting a second chance and how that effected him. Furthermore he could have went more into detail with his own feelings on writing this book. As a result of a potentially happier and deeper ending if he would have waited I strongly believed he should have waited to write this book as waiting would have resulted in a much better ending and would have been an amazing finish to one of the best books I have ever read.
