Travels with Stanley [Hardcover]

The Keepers of the Cup (Author), The Hockey Hall of Fame (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2007

Traveling all around the world, celebrating hockey excellence, Lord Stanley's legacy looms large as sport's greatest trophy. Kids and adults dream of earning the right to hoist the Stanley Cup high into the air. When you're a Stanley Cup champion, the trophy's 16.5 kilograms(35 pounds) is as effortless to lift as the down of a feather. Earning that right is one of the greatest challenges known to sports.

"The Stanley Cup represents what hockey players work for all their lives," stated Mark Messier, a six time Stanley Cup champion. "And while the greatest hockey players in the world dream of raising the Cup over their head, there is also real magic when true hockey fans get to experience the Cup."

In Travels with Stanley, the Keepers of the Cup chronicle some of their extraordinary adventures encountered with hockey's greatest trophy, the Stanley Cup, using never seen before photography along with stories that inform as well as entertain.

This book has a photo of the Stanley Cup in a location on one side of each two-page spread with a short story or description on the other. I was very disappointed that few of stories were about adventures of the Cup; most seemed to be based more on the landmarks. A photo of the U.S. Capitol building is misidentified as the White House, which made me wonder how many others were wrong, also. A few of the photos (mostly photos of the "keepers of the cup") appear to have been taken with a quality digital camera, but the majority of the photos look like they were taken with a cheap film camera, developed at a mediocre lab and scanned using a cheap scanner. Cute book, but the content doesn't have much to recommend it.

I am a huge hockey fan... the book was only mildly entertaining. There was not too much new in it.
