Product Description
From the beginning, hockey has captured our imagination and fueled our dreams. It has given us heroes whose names are Gordie, Bobby, and Wayne, and it has left us with memories that will last forever.
Now, this lavishly illustrated book, based on The Hockey News’ collector’s edition magazine of the same name, gives readers the ultimate tribute to hockey in the twentieth century. Century of Hockey features:
• An illustrated, year-by-year overview of the NHL’s 83 seasons, and a look back at hockey’s early era
• The forty greatest individual single-season performances in NHL history, beginning with Bobby Orr’s legendary 1969-1970 season, as chosen by a panel of twenty hockey experts
• A foreword by Bobby Orr, and a tribute to Orr by Hockey News associate editor Bob McKenzie
• The Hockey News’ All-Modern Era Team, made up of the greatest players and role players since the centre-ice red line was introduced for the 1942-1943 season
• The Hockey News’ All-World Team, composed of the greatest players of all time who played their best hockey (or their entire careers) outside the NHL
• A celebration of hockey’s 13 torch bearers – from Cyclone Taylor to Jaromir Jagr, hockey’s most decorated and influential players at each stage in hockey’s history
Filled with fascinating photographs and stats, treatments and tributes, Century of Hockey is a complete, magnificent celebration of hockey in the twentieth century.

Reader Reviews
This book is great! It has information about the NHL and hockey dating back into the 1800s, such as who won the Stanley Cup each year from when it was first introduced to the 2000 season, as well as photos, season highlights, articles, and facts for each season. By reading this book you'll learn information about the different professional leagues that led to the formation of the NHL, and well as the first ever official hockey game, where the first pro hockey league was located, and which teams and star players were involved. It also includes a table of teams containing all of the teams, which city they've played in, they're old and new names, and the years as each franchise. Bobby Orr's foreword is also interesting, as it gives his view on hockey and his career. I would strongly recommend this book to any hockey fan!
