Sports Illustrated has made 300,000 copies of a special commemorative edition honoring Steve Yzerman and released them today (Thursday). These copies will be made available in Michigan, Ontario, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This $6.99 feature is 84 pages long and includes:

Stevie’s Wonder Years: In his 22 seasons in Detroit, Yzerman was the consummate franchise player.

Captain Kid: Five years into his career, Yzerman was firmly established as the leader of a surprising Detroit team.

A Career In Pictures: Snapshots from No. 19’s exceptional 22-season run.

Wild Ride: Between 1997 and 2002, the Red Wings won three Stanley Cups and Yzerman led Canada to an Olympic gold medal.

The Captain By The Numbers: How valuable was Stevie Y. to the Wings? Let’s count the ways.

Out Of The Darkness: Yzerman arrived in Detroit as a shy, 18-year-old center and left as the hero of Hockeytown.

The Last Word: From kid to captain, former teammate Dave Lewis describes how Yzerman learned to become the unquestioned leader of the Red Wings.

Assuming that this edition is similar to the one for Lance Armstrong last summer, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. You can get it at Barnes and Nobles, Borders, Target, Walgreen’s, 7-Eleven, Meijer, Wal-Mart, and Kroger.
