"Hockey: A People's History" tells the story of this fast, exciting game from its hotly contested origins, and the surge in its popularity after 1875, when it was first taken inside, through the rise and fall of women's hockey, the sagas of long-lost leagues, such as the Pacific Coast Hockey League, and, more recently, the World Hockey Association, the present day and the first-ever lockout of players by the one remaining league. The book will be a lavishly illustrated, invaluable companion book to the CBC Television series airing September 17, 2006.
