Description
The very first book to chronicle the rich history of the NHL’s crowning jewel of a game, The NHL All-Star Game is a blockbuster compendium of stories, photographs and statistics published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the All-Star Game.
Written by well-known sports writer Andrew Podnieks, The NHL All-Star Game gives a game-by-game description, complete with fascinating anecdotes and little-known lore.
From the game’s beginning in 1908 as a benefit game for the family of Hod Stuart, a star defenseman for the Montreal Wanderers, who drowned shortly after his team’s Stanley Cup win in 1907, to the 1999 game and Wayne Gretzky’s inspired?and final?All-Star performance, Podnieks brings every All-Star moment vividly to life. Packed full of photographs and complete with registers, records and all statistics, The NHL All-Star Game is a hockey fan’s treasure.
“Illuminating…Serious students of the game know already to follow where Podnieks leads…his attention to and reverence for the game compares with Nabokov and his bond with butterflies.”?The Globe and Mail
