5.0 out of 5 stars Great history and stories of sport's finest trophy, July 12, 2000

By	"smartmoose" (Mt. Pleasant, MI USA) - See all my reviews

The Stanley Cup is possibly the most revered award in modern sports. Though football, basketball, baseball, and even auto racing may be more popular, the Stanley Cup is the most recognized National Championship trophy, and unquestionably the one with the longest history, and greatest sense of respect. No other award in professional sports has its own set of "body guards," and no other trophy is so often shared among the players *and* the public.

Mike Ulmer does a fantastic job capturing the history and highlights of the Stanley Cup's long journey from its 19th century beginnings to the present. The reader is witness to the genesis of this "challenge trophy", and then follows its humorous and emotional travels through the years. Think of this book as a "Red Violin" (the movie) for hockey.

A quick read, though very well written, this book will be surely be re-read numeous times - especially before making any trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

For any lover of the fastest game on ice, this is an absolute must. Thanks, Mike.
