Putting A Roof On Winter Hockey's Rise from Sport to Spectacle Hardcover - 2000

by McKinley, Michael.


From the publisher

The first indoor hockey match took place in 1875--and since that fateful date, the sport has occupied a central place in North American life. Here are the gods and villains of the game, those whose exploits won cheers, drew forth curses, and sometimes even elicited tears. Their tale, skillfully combining character and incident, traces hockey's changes from its amateur days to the moment when pros skated on artificial ice to the exciting and significant Canada-Russia summit series. Meet hockey's greats, like Cyclone Taylor and Newsy Lalonde; the glory teams of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s; the powerful owners; and the tragic players, like superstar Howie Morenz, dead at 35. You will come to understand the power of this poetic, violent, and gloriously improvisational sport.

First line

It was St. Patrick's Day, that late-winter carousal when French Montrealers pinned shamrocks over their fleurs-de-lis and joined their Irish brethren to celebrate the fifth-century missionary who freed Ireland from its snakes.
