Long considered Canadian, ice hockey is in truth a worldwide
phenomenon--and has been for centuries. In Hockey: A Global
History, Stephen Hardy and Andrew C. Holman draw on twenty-five
years of research to present THE monumental end-to-end history of
the sport. Here is the story of on-ice stars and organizational
visionaries, venues and classic games, the evolution of rules and
advances in equipment, and the ascendance of corporations and
instances of bureaucratic chicanery. Hardy and Holman chart modern
hockey's "birthing" in Montreal and follow its migration from
Canada south to the United States and east to Europe. The story
then shifts from the sport's emergence as a nationalist battlefront
to the movement of talent across international borders to the game
of today, where men and women at all levels of play lace 'em up on
the shinny ponds of Saskatchewan, the wide ice of the Olympics, and
across the breadth of Asia. Sweeping in scope and vivid with
detail, Hockey: A Global History is the saga of how the coolest
game changed the world--and vice versa.
