Description

Only in the 1960s did NHL teams start to look for hockey talent east of Quebec. Then the stream of talented players started, culminating with the record-breaking achievements of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia's Sidney Crosby.

Here are the stories of a dozen NHL hockey players who learned the game in communities on Canada's East Coast. They came from all four provinces, and from towns large and small.
