This revised and updated edition of The Official NHL Hockey Treasures--which includes the 2018-19 Stanley Cup finals won by St. Louis--gives the sport's long and colorful history the special treatment it deserves. With hundreds of photographs and an exhaustively researched text, it explores the origin and evolution of hockey, especially the professional game in North America, the great players, famous games, and illustrious teams.
