Jam packed with information and photos

This book is great! It has information about the NHL and hockey dating back into the 1800s, such as who won the Stanley Cup each year from when it was first introduced to the 2000 season, as well as photos, season highlights, articles, and facts for each season.By reading this book you'll learn information about the different professional leagues that led to the formation of the NHL, and well as the first ever official hockey game, where the first pro hockey league was located, and which teams and star players were involved. It also includes a table of teams containing all of the teams, which city they've played in, they're old and new names, and the years as each franchise.Bobby Orr's foreword is also interesting, as it gives his view on hockey and his career.I would strongly recommend this book to any hockey fan!
