9781493070923: The Hockey Book of Why (and Who, What, When, Where, and How)

Synopsis

Why is fighting more accepted in hockey than in other sports? Who inspired the name of the Stanley Cup? How do players on the bench know when to make line changes? When did goalies begin wearing masks? What teams made up the NHL’s Original Six? What is an “odd man rush”?

This book provides a slew of questions and in-depth answers concerning the traditions, rules, records, and history of hockey. From the early days of the sport to the hugely popular game seen today, Martin Gitlin answers questions even the most knowledgeable fan may have pondered. Whether the topic is goalies or coaches, famous “firsts”, or memorable moments, if a who, what, when, where, why, or how? question is on your mind, this is the book for you.
