'Shut Out' is a memoir about professional hockey by Bernie Saunders, a player who had the potential to become a star but was blocked at almost every opportunity because of his race. In spite of this, 'Shut Out' is a hopeful and uplifting book about facing adversity, overcoming it and moving ahead. Saunders is a dual citizen of Canada and the US, and played two seasons in the National Hockey League for the Quebec Nordiques. He was only the fifth Black hockey player to play in the NHL.
