Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From its earliest days on frozen ponds, hockey has been a sport of speed and elegance, but also one demanding courage and physical will. The Hockey Book goes deep into the heart of the game, celebrating with astounding photographs and insightful words the great players and the inspiring teams, as well as an ethos-robust and selfless-that defines the sport as much in its dynamic present as it did in hockey's hardscrabble (and helmetless) past.
A visual chronicle of hockey's history betins with its hardscrabble roots and continues through the eras of such greats as Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, and Wayne Gretzky, as well as such Olympic feats as the U.S.A.'s defeat of the Soviet Union at Lake Placid.
