This lively volume begins with the first games resembling ice hockey, played on the frozen lakes of Europe and North America, and traces the game's development to the dazzling speed and puck-handling that characterize it today. From the first Stanley Cup playoff in 1892 through the growth of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, the proliferation of boomtown hockey, the birth of the NHL, the evolution of the All-Star game, the advent of international competition, and the rival leagues to the expansion teams, this illustrated volume tells the complete story of the fastest game on ice.Romain, Joseph is the author of 'Pictorial History of Hockey' with ISBN 9781571458391 and ISBN 1571458395.
