Description
From its humble beginnings in France in 1908 to the centennial World Championships in Canada in 2008, the International Ice Hockey Federation has represented a remarkable rise in popularity of international hockey. It began as a federation which claimed six members in its first year and has grown to boast a membership that today stands at 63 nations playing dozens of tournaments annually.
World of Hockey is a celebration of the game and its growth, from the early days when Canadas amateur teams routinely won by scores of 30-0 to a game in which many nations can win Olympic gold and many more compete at a high level. It is a book that traces the development of the game and its players as well as the IIHF itself. It shows a game that started as men only but now includes a full womens program in which more than two dozen nations compete every year at a variety of levels. The book is accompanied by an appendix including all results and rosters from the 72 world championships played to date.
