The original 6 Celebrating Hockey's History. Marking the 100th anniversary of the NHL and the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup, this is a must-read series for hockey fans and newcomers to the sport. Each book is a fact-filled journey of one of the "Original Six" teams: Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Canadiens, Rangers, and Maple Leafs. Exciting photographs highlight the stories of hockey heroes, puck palaces, colorful coaches, and tempestuous team rivalries. Find information at a glance on top all-time player stats, team championship rundowns, and amazing hockey innovations. Arguably the most valuable franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs have proven that fans fuel the game-despite a much-lamented half-century Stanley Cup drought. This book tells the entertaining story of the Leafs' 100 years of colorful coaches, irascible owners, and bruised and beloved players. Historic and contemporary images are featured, along with quick-reference charts for statistics buffs.
