Review
"Hockey is a game oft-told tale--yet there is much still in the vaults. D'Arcy Jenish has ransacked the archives to pull together a unique chronicle of people, places and events that shaped the NHL. Augmented with dozens of fresh interviews and reflections, this is a book that challenges conventions about what we think we know while revealing a great deal heretofore unknown. It deserves a place in every serious hockey fan's library." --Rosie DiManno, author of Coach: The Pat Burns Story

I was extremely excited to read this book, what with Jenish's claims that he got his hands on years of NHL board room notes and minutes. However, I was quickly disappointed. The book starts out on a pretty bad note, as his entire introduction basically exists to let you know how wonderful he is and that he is the only person in history that has ever gotten the amount of notes and files that he obtained. But then as you proceed through the book, it is very apparent (and backed up by his bibliography) that he does not, in actuality, have that many notes from NHL board meetings. He has a good collection of them in the middle of the 20th century, and to be honest it is the most fascinating part of the book. But the rest of the book is all quick hits and stories from NHL history that read like an extended Wikipedia page. If he wrote a book solely on the one-of-a-kind information he claimed he had, it would just be a story about the NHL in the 1950s and 1960s. I give the extra one star for the amount of work that went into him obtaining the board meeting notes that he had and presenting it word for word, rather than cherry-picking facts. But outside of those few chapters, the book was very poorly done.
This is a history of the league's business side. On ice action is secondary to the ups and downs of the NHL as a business entity, and as Jenish makes clear, there have been ups and downs aplenty. Jenish does not fail to assign either blame or praise, but does so in a balanced way while keeping his story moving -- he's a very capable writer.Most every hockey fan will learn something here, some of it surprising. This is especially the case for the chapters dealing with the Ziegler presidency, expansion, the WHA, and the growing militancy of the players association. The early Bettman years are covered somewhat less well; the closing chapter covering the years between 2005 and about 2010 is the weakest in the book. Jenish notes the changing nature of the NHL, both the corporate entity and the game itself, but only gestures at the issues these changes raise for many of the league's longtime fans (myself included) for whom the culture of hockey is a large part of what makes it The Game. Had he done more in this regard, and had the last chapter been stronger, I would have given five stars.
fantastic look inside the history of the NHL. fans already know the names, but if you're like me, you don't know who they really were and why they were so important. this book opens up the stories behind the franchises and the league in a way like no other book i have read. i never knew how close to folding teams like Chicago and Detroit were early on and how lucky we are in St. Louis to even have a franchise. a must read for any hockey fan!
This book was eye opening in it's detail of how the business of hockey and the NHL has been done...The meticulous information included covering important events in the history of the NHL make this book even more interesting. if you're a fan of hockey and the NHL you will enjoy this book, but I think casual reader will enjoy reading just what goes into forming the pro leagues many follow
Jenish’s history of the NHL is an interesting read and somewhat of an insider’s look at the working of the league since its inception. A must read for hockey buffs and while at times somewhat confusing as to who’s making the comment, it is still a worthwhile and interesting read.
Detailed research makes for a fascinating read. The book gives a balanced view of the economics of hockey.A must read for any hockey fan.
Gave this as a gift
Really keeps my interest from pre "orginal 6" to the present.You find out so much more happened before "original 6" time that the use of that term is really a misnomber.I've always wanted to learn more about the history of the league and this is providing me that info.
