The most exciting plays, the most shocking upsets, the most amazing "firsts" that will stay in hockey history forever. The Montreal Amateur Athletic Association taking home the first Stanley Cup. The first live countrywide radio broadcast of a hockey game. The fabulous Howie Morentz, one of hockey's most glittering stars, dying suddenly after a game. These and other moments were etched on ice and they'll be etched permanently in your memory. It starts with the turn of the century wizards and visionaries who shaped the game, and proceeds through the "Jazz Age" and the Depression when two major arenas opened up to hockey: New York's Madison Square Garden and the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Experience the thrilling times of the Original Six and honor modern day stars like Howe, Orr, and Gretzky whose genius revolutionized the game. A lively, opinionated text, and a stunning collection of rarely before seen photographs celebrate the sport that makes winter the hottest season.
