About this title

From the Author:

Detailed look in words and pictures at NHL's golden era.
Year by year summary of each season from 1942-43 to 1966-67, acknowledged as hockey's goldern era. Large format hardcover with 200+ photos, many rare and previously unseen. Includes box scores from 25 important games as well as nine special essays by leading writers of the era and hockey historians. Bonus: NHL sponsorship of minor pro and junior hockey in the six-team era explained.

From the Inside Flap:

42 to1967 marked a golden era in the history of the NHL. The Depression and the early war years had reduced the number of teams in the big league from ten to six but instead of faltering in this reduced form the game was re-energized, reaching a zenith of excellence. To celebrate this fondly remembered era in hockey history the NHL has prepared this sumptuous, large-format commemorative book describing the great goals, great stars, and great moments of those golden years.
