[Review of previous hardcover edition: ] A wealth of information
not only about the Stanley Cup but about the various teams and
players who have faced the challenge to win the cup over the last
120 years. It deals with the evolution that has taken place in the
composition of the various hockey leagues which led to the
formation of the National Hockey League... Will be thoroughly
enjoyed by all hockey fans and...a welcome addition to both school
and public libraries.--Victoria Pennell "Resource Links, Vol. 18,
No. 3" (3/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of previous hardcover edition: ] Of all [the] big format
histories, this new one might be the best yet. Not only does Zweig
give the reader the annual highlights from the competition... he
traces the ever-changing formats, tells many historic tales and
gets inside the game by re-purposing a number of great first-person
accounts... He selects the right photos to go with each season ...
you can't go wrong with this one.--Stu Hackel "Sports Illustrated
(SI.com)" (12/11/2012 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of previous hardcover edition: ] True connoisseurs of the
game will enjoy seeing every Cup winner noted, along with recaps,
statistics, and more than 200 photos vintage and more recent... a
publication that will give you a total respect for the ultimate
part of hockey supremacy.-- "Shelf Life" (2/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of previous hardcover edition: ] Zweig has done a
magnificent job documenting in a handsome coffee table giant the
years since 1892 when Lord Stanley donated the original cup to be
awarded as a challenge trophy. Heavily illustrated, chock-full of
statistics and complete with fascinating sidebars, Stanley Cup is
arranged from the most recent victory by the Los Angeles Kings to
that day in February 1893 when the Montreal hockey club won the
first annual match. In between those dates, Zweig packs enough
full-colour photographs, biographies and Cup trivia to last until
some agreement is reached in the NHL.--Andrew Armitage "Owen Sound
Sun Times" (12/22/2012 12:00:00 AM)
The book does not simply list the winners. It goes into detail of
each series, along with the highlights of every game, along with
scoring and the leaders in that series. As well every player is
listed on the winning team, making this not only a must-read for
hockey lovers but those who care about statistics and the like...
With hundreds of vintage photos, along with little known trivia
about teams and players, if you live for the Stanley Cup then you
absolutely need to add this consummate book to your collection.--
