I really enjoyed this book. It was great to read a select few stories from the Stanley Cup History- some were very well known, and others were insider stories. For anyone who is into the great Hockey Stories this is a great read.

Dated, but I knew that a this was a library find. Nice short stories about the players / staff / teams / game history, centered around the Cup.
