New Book ‘Major Misconduct’ Features Stories of Former Cap Stephen Peat

A new book is hitting the shelves soon called ‘Major Misconduct’ by Jeremy Allingham, which tells the story of three hockey players who made a career out of fighting, and what it ultimately cost them. One of the players profiled is former Caps enforcer Stephen Peat, who has had several issues since leaving hockey, including accidentally burning down his house, drug addiction, and even being homeless. No doubt, his fighting career led to his current issues, just as too much fighting has caused players to lose their lives, such as Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien.
