Description
Professional Sports Team Histories: Hockey traces the development of hockey from an ancient British field sport to an organized game played in eastern Canada in the 1870s. With an extensive prose entry on each National Hockey League (NHL) team, Hockey focuses on the formation and growth of each franchise and highlights the accomplishments of significant players and members of management. The volume also charts the creation of the NHL in the fall of 1917, the history of the league's precursors, the pioneering teams that engaged in post-World War I play, and the refinement of the game into the sport of the 1990s.
