In The NHL in Pictures and Stories, authors Ryan Dixon and Bob Duff
recount the events that have shaped the NHL. From its madcap early
years all the way to the 32-team elite professional sport that it
will be — once the newest franchise, Seattle, takes the ice in
2021 — no stone is left unturned. In this new edition, readers
are treated to more than 150 stories, ranging from game changing
decisions like allowing goalies to wear masks, to jaw-dropping
performances like Maurice Richard’s 50 goals in 50 games, to
outstanding starts like the expansion Vegas Golden Knights
competing for the Stanley Cup. Some of the events covered in The
NHL in Pictures and Stories: 1945: Maurice Richard scores 50 goals
in 50 games; 1951: Bill Barilko scores his last goal — a Cup
winner; 1958: Willie O’Ree breaks the NHL’s colour barrier;
1959: Jacques Plante starts to wear a mask; 1960: Montreal
Canadiens first ever five-time Cup champs; 1966: Bobby Hull breaks
Richard’s 50 goal record; 1971: Phil Esposito scores 76 goals;
1980: Peter Stastny defects to the NHL; 1981: Wayne Gretzky scores

Auston Matthews’ incredible rookie debut; 2018: Alex Ovechkin and
the Washington Capitals win the Cup. With more than 200 images,
hundreds of star players and dozens of artifacts from the Hockey
Hall of Fame, The NHL in Pictures and Stories is the definitive
guide to the history of the NHL.
