"Hockey is a game oft-told tale--yet there is much still in the vaults. D'Arcy Jenish has ransacked the archives to pull together a unique chronicle of people, places and events that shaped the NHL. Augmented with dozens of fresh interviews and reflections, this is a book that challenges conventions about what we think we know while revealing a great deal heretofore unknown. It deserves a place in every serious hockey fan's library."--Rosie DiManno, author of Coach: The Pat Burns Story "In the NHL boardroom, battles between owners can be every bit as intense and calculated as the games played on the ice. Learn through first-hand accounts and archival documents how the NHL was formed, how it survived almost insurmountable financial disasters and how it rose above rival leagues to become the billion-dollar industry it is today. You will be a witness to 100 years of managerial maneuvers and on-ice action as Jenish reveals our great NHL game like none before him. A must-read for every fan."--Kerry Fraser, hockey analyst and long-serving NHL referee "I've always enjoyed reading books about history and here at last is a great one about the NHL. I found it fascinating."--Pat Quinn, former NHL player and head coach
