Par Ken Dryden. 2005
Former Montreal Canadiens goalie and former President of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Dryden captures the essence of hockey and what…
it means to its fans. He gives us vivid portraits of the characters - Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, coach Scotty Bowman - that made the Canadiens of the 1970s one of the greatest hockey teams in history. Dryden also reflects on life on the road, in the spotlight, and on the ice, offering up a rare inside look at the game. This edition marks the 20th anniversary of book’s original publication. Strong language, some descriptions of violence. 2005.Par Stephen Brunt. 2006
Bobby Orr redefined the defensive style of hockey - he was the first to infuse the defenseman position with offensive…
juice, driving up the ice, setting up players and scoring some goals of his own. He was the first player to win three straight MVP awards, the first defenseman to score twenty or more goals in a season. But history will also remember Bobby Orr as a key figure in the Alan Eagleson scandal, and as the unfortunate player forced into early retirement in 1978 because of his injuries. Some strong language. 2006.Par Murray Howe. 2017
Unlike his two brothers, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional…
athlete. Yet, his failure brought him to the realization that in truth, his dream wasn't to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father, Gordie Howe. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it is a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. We need to identify and embrace our gifts. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Bestseller. 2017.Par David Naylor, Bob McCown. 2007
Sports talk-radio personality Bob McCown isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. His hockey opinions include: The Leafs haven't…
won the Stanley Cup in 40 years for a perfectly logical reason: they have the crappiest players; it's time the law put hockey's most violent offenders in something more restrictive than the penalty box; and Slovakia, not Canada, just may be the greatest hockey nation on Earth. 2007.Par Trevor J Adams. 2012
In the early 1900s, a host of professional, minor-pro, senior, junior, and college leagues competed across the continent. More than…
a decade remained before the Stanley Cup would become the sole property of the NHL. In this era, it was a challenge cup, and it seemed as though every Canadian town--big or small--had a fair shot at the big prize. In these pre-NHL days, four teams from the Maritimes took up the challenge, competing for what was, even then, hockey's biggest prize. The 1900 Halifax Crescents club was followed in 1906 by the New Glasgow Cubs, in 1912 by the Moncton Victorias, and in 1913 by the Sydney Millionaires. 2012.Par Michael McKinley. 1998
"Etched in Ice" showcases the builders and broadcasters, the dramas and pathos, of a sport that has long made winter…
the hottest season. It includes not only the titans and their achievements, but it also takes us to the men and women who are not household names, yet have affected the game in their own remarkable ways: the first big-time team on the West Coast; a gifted American player cut down early in World War I; a women's team that lost only two games out of 350 during the 1930s. 1998.Par Paul Quarrington. 1988

But the WHA also drove hockey into the modern age, ended the NHL's monopoly, freed players from the reserve clause, ushered in the 18-year-old draft, moved the game into the Sun Belt, and put European players on the ice in numbers previously unimagined.
