In 1967 the National Hockey League decided to double its size
from six teams to twelve. This expansion was the first of its kind,
and Minnesota, with its rich hockey history, was a natural choice
for a new franchise. Thus the Minnesota North Stars were
born.
"Frozen in Time "examines the organization's signature seasons,
from the late 1970s, when the club was at its worst, to its two
surprising runs to the Stanley Cup Finals. The book recalls the
exploits of characters such as Wren Blair, the firebrand ex-scout
who would become the team's first coach and general manager, and
owner Norm Green, the man who moved the team to Texas in 1993,
making him one of the most hated men in Minnesota. Here, too, is
the tragic story of Bill Masterton, an original North Star whose
death in 1968 as the result of an on-ice injury remains the only
one in the history of the league. The team's engaging history is
brought to life with vivid recollections from former players and
legends, including Cesare Maniago, Tom Reid, and Bobby Smith, and
from journalists, broadcasters, front office executives, and
faithful fans.
Also including season-by-season summaries, player profiles, and
statistics, "Frozen in Time" offers an authoritative and nostalgic
look at Minnesota's still-beloved North Stars and a bygone era of
pro hockey.
