The first authorized biography of Art Ross, Hockey Hall of Famer,
NHL founding father, and long-time member of the Boston Bruins.
Though he last played the game nearly one hundred years ago, Art
Ross remains connected with the greatest stars in hockey. Gordie
Howe, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, and Sidney Crosby have all won the
award that bears his name, the trophy given annually to the NHL’s
top scorer. Ross himself managed just one goal during his NHL
career; however, in the dozen years leading up to the formation of
the NHL in 1917, he was one of the biggest stars in the game. After
his playing career ended, Ross became one of the founding fathers
of the Boston Bruins, holding the positions of coach, general
manager, and vice president. He was one of the men most responsible
for making the NHL a success in the United States, and was integral
to the modernization of hockey. All these accomplishments led to
him being one of the first players inducted into the Hockey Hall of
Fame. Hockey historian Eric Zweig brings to life the early days of
hockey. From the mining towns of Northern Ontario to the hallowed
halls of Boston Garden, Art Ross was one of the biggest names in
hockey over his six decades in the game.
Until now much of the early history of ice hockey in Scotland has
been neglected or forgotten - metaphorically frozen in time, lying
buried under the ice. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive
and social history of both the Club and International game in the
country from the late 19th century up to 1940. It aims to restore
Scottish ice hockey to its right and proper place, representing a
pioneering nation in the early development and organisation of this
great world-wide sport. The bulk of the book is dedicated to the
eleven seasons of competition in the Scottish League in the
inter-war period, where a number of themes - including the
transition from amateurism to semi-professionalism and the
home-based player vs the imported player controversies - are fully
explored. A definitive records section has also been included. As
the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the debt owed to ice
hockey missionaries from the Land of the Maple Leaf cannot be
overstated. Ice hockey represents a unique link in the long and
happy social relationship which has always existed between the
people of Scotland and Canada, and to which this book can be viewed
as a minor contribution.

A Shot Above The Rest - AJ Shot was among the best Mite hockey
players in the State of Minnesota--until he quit playing hockey.
Although AJ liked hockey more than anything in the world, he was
forced to hang up his skates at the early age of 7 because his dad
was always yelling at AJ and his teammates during and after games,
forcing the coaches to dismiss AJ from the Minnesota Ice Bears
hockey team. Despite trying out for other hockey teams close to
home, AJ could not find a spot on another team. None of the other
coaches or parents wanted AJ on their teams because they did not
want to put up with his dad's antics. One year after AJ's mom and
dad got a divorce, however, AJ eventually started playing house
hockey at an ice-rink far enough away from his home town that no
one had heard about his dad. Find out why AJ Shot began to play
hockey again and how he eventually became a shot above the rest.
