Mike Keenan, who coached the New York Rangers to a Stanley Cup in 1994, ending the team's 54-year drought, before quitting a month later over a contract dispute, will be signing copies of his new book "Iron Mike: My Life Behind the Bench," on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. Bookends in Ridgewood

The book features Keenan discussing his coaching career, from taking the Flyers to the Stanley Cup to two Stanley Cup finals, to his run in Chicago to that famous 1993-1994 season in New York, his only season coaching the Blueshirts. 

After leaving New York for St. Louis amid much controversy, Keenan never reached those lofty heights again, having unsuccessful stints in Vancouver, Boston, Florida and Calgary before coaching several years in Russia and China. Keenan also coached Canada to victory in the 1987 Canada Cup.
