H is for Hockey: A NHL Alumni Alphabet

by Kevin Shea, Ken Dewar (Illustrator)

Overview

Where was the first organized indoor hockey game played?

When did the tradition of engraving winners' names on

the Stanley Cup start? Which six brothers collectively

played in more than 5,000 NHL games?

Answers to these questions and many more can be found

in H is for Hockey: An NHL Alumni Alphabet.

Formed in 1999, the National Hockey League Alumni

Association is affectionately known as "Hockey's Greatest

Family" for good reason. Members of the NHL Alumni are

considered hockey ambassadors, supporting the game and

its history through many charitable causes and programs.

Written by one of the game's foremost historians, this

book pays tribute to them and the sport they love.

Adding a personal touch are the memorable quotes

sprinkled throughout the text. When 17-year-old Sidney

Crosby was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2005, he

said, "This is amazing. It's been a lot of hard work and a

lot of sacrifices. It's unbelievable!"
