World Class Hockey Trivia

By Melky Correia

Although Hockey is traditionally thought of as Canada's game, the sport has a deep legacy of international play throughout North America and Europe. Whether at the World Championships, the Olympics or special events such as the infamous 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union, the world game has a rich history full of amazing stories and gold-medal tidbits of trivia. Nuggets of facts and stats abound in this latest volume by hockey-trivia master Don Weekes. And it's all here-everything from the "Miracle on Ice" to the "Lucky Loonie"; from the early days of hockey's Cold War to the headline-making defections of Alexander Mogilny and the Stastny brothers from behind the Iron Curtain to NHL freedom.
