The untold story of hockey's deep roots from different regions of
the world, and its global, cultural impact. Played on frozen ponds
in cold northern lands, hockey seemed an especially unlikely game
to gain a global following. But from its beginnings in the
nineteenth century, the sport has drawn from different cultures and
crossed boundaries--between Canada and the United States, across
the Atlantic, and among different regions of Europe. It has been a
political flashpoint within countries and internationally. And it
has given rise to far-reaching cultural changes and firmly held
traditions. The Fastest Game in the World is a global history of a
global sport, drawing upon research conducted around the world in a
variety of languages. From Canadian prairies to Swiss mountain
resorts, Soviet housing blocks to American suburbs, Bruce Berglund
takes readers on an international tour, seamlessly weaving in
hockey's local, national, and international trends. Written in a
lively style with wide-ranging breadth and attention to telling
detail, The Fastest Game in the World will thrill both the lifelong
fan and anyone who is curious about how games intertwine with
politics, economics, and culture.
