    Book SynopsisThe Hartford Whalers were a beloved hockey team from their founding in 1972 as the New England Whalers. Playing in the National Hockey League's smallest market and arena after the World Hockey Association merger in 1979, they struggled in a division that included both the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens-but their fans were among the NHL's most loyal. In 1995 new owners demanded a new arena and, when it fell through, moved the team to North Carolina, rebranding as the Hurricanes. Unlike fellow franchises that have folded or relocated with little fanfare, the Whalers' fan base stayed with the team, which remains as popular as ever. Even though more than two decades have come and gone since Connecticut's only professional sports team moved, nobody has forgotten the Whalers, their history, and their unique-and still highly profitable-logo. And while the NHL continues to thrive without them, their impact stretches far beyond the ice and into an entirely different cultural arena. Part sports history and part civic history, Bleeding Green shows vividly why the Whalers remain firmly embedded in the American milieu and have had a lasting impact on not only the NHL but the sports landscape as a whole. Trade Review“The Hartford Whalers have been gone for a quarter century, which is longer than their stay in Connecticut’s capital city. Neither seems possible. Our NHL team left such deep tracks from the mid-1970s through the later 1990s that it seems like they were here for fifty years and departed maybe a decade ago. The jersey is still a strong seller to hockey fans even far from the Nutmeg State, and why wouldn’t it be? The logo remains one of the best in pro sports history. The green and blue colors still resonate. And ‘Brass Bonanza’? No catchier fight song exists.”—Chris Berman“The staying power of the Hartford Whalers and the brand is very intriguing and fascinating. Current NHL teams are probably envious of the Whalers’ brand ‘stickiness.’ Christopher Price breaks down why in this buried treasure of hockey history.”—John Buccigross, ESPN“The Hartford Whalers have proved as unforgettable as the opening bars of ‘Brass Bonanza.’ Now here’s Christopher Price, reviving a story that is fun, fascinating, and nearly impossible to put down.”—Dan Wetzel, national columnist for Yahoo Sports“This book was such a fun trip down memory lane, reliving those great memories I have of the Whalers as a kid growing up in New England and learning how the iconic ‘Brass Bonanza’ came to be!”—Jamison Coyle, NHL NetworkTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1.

    Book SynopsisThe NHL's New York Islanders were struggling.After winning four straight Stanley Cups in the early 1980s, the Islanders had suffered an embarrassing sweep by their geographic rivals, the New York Rangers, in the first round of the 1994 playoffs. Hoping for a new start, the Islanders swapped out their distinctive logo, which featured the letters NYand a map of Long Island, for a cartoon fisherman wearing a rain slicker and gripping a hockey stick.The new logo immediately drew comparisons to the mascot for Gorton's frozen seafood, and opposing fans taunted the team with chants of We want fish sticks! During a rebranding process that lasted three torturous seasons, the Islanders unveiled a new mascot, new uniforms, new players, a new coach, and a new owner that were supposed to signal a return to championship glory. Instead, the team and its fans endured a twenty-eight-month span more humiliating than what most franchises witness over twenty-eight years. The Islanders thought they had traTrade Review“There were times during the mid- to late 1990s when Barnum and Bailey had nothing on the New York Islanders. From a disastrous rebranding to ownership fiascos, they became a bad hockey joke. Thanks to Nick Hirshon’s narrative, it’s far more enjoyable to revisit today than it was to experience in real time.”—Howie Rose, television play-by-play broadcaster for the New York Islanders, 1995–2016“Hirshon skillfully captures perhaps the most colorful story in hockey history. Benefiting from original interviews with NHL players, We Want Fish Sticks takes readers on the ice and into the locker room for the stranger-than-fiction moments that defined the mid-1990s New York Islanders.”—Keith Jones, hockey studio analyst for NBC Sports“A great behind-the-scenes look at one of history’s most (in)famous team designs and an excellent primer on team design in general. Essential reading for any fan of uniforms, logos, and sports aesthetics.”—Paul Lukas, ESPN.com columnist and founder of Uni Watch"With We Want Fish Sticks, Hirshon captured what was one of the most unique stories in sports amidst what was an amazing era for hockey in New York."—Jason Schott, Brooklyn Fans“This part in Islanders history couldn’t have been more accurately documented. It was easily the most uncomfortable time for players and, with Mike Milbury at the helm, simply embarrassing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the thoughts behind the changing of the brand. I now have a better understanding of the decision process. Clearly there needed to be much more dialogue on such an important change and how it would affect the Islanders’ image.”—Mick Vukota, New York Islanders franchise leader in penalty minutes"For readers who are interested in sports branding as well as hockey history, this is a must read."—Guy Who Reviews Sports BooksTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Foreword, by Éric Fichaud Acknowledgments Introduction 1.

    Kent State University Press Classic Pens: The 50 Greatest Games in Pittsburgh

    Book SynopsisIn the first edition of Classic Pens readers were reminded of the franchise’s most memorable contests, from its beginnings in the 1960s through the 2010s. is new edition brings the team’s standout games up to date, including their triumphant 2016 Stanley Cup victory. During the Penguins’ early years, it wasn’t uncommon to buy a $5 ticket for a seat at the top of the Civic Arena (the “Igloo”) and at the end of the first period move to a seat in the first row behind the glass. Except for a few winning moments scattered through their first three decades, the idea of a full-season sold-out arena was too farfetched, never mind the thought of a Stanley Cup. The only constant was that the Penguins were always in financial trouble and often threatening to move out of the Steel City. The 1983–84 campaign proved to be the season that turned everything around. e Penguins’ prize was Mario Lemieux, an 18-year-old center from Montreal, Quebec, who would lift the Pens out of the canyon of last-place finishes to the lofty heights of backto-back Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and 1992. Lemieux went on to become one of the greatest players the game had ever seen. He and teammates such as Jaromir Jagr, Tom Barrasso, Ron Francis, Joe Mullen, Kevin Stevens, Larry Murphy, and Paul Coffey soon made the Civic Arena the place to be. In 1999 Mario Lemieux, now in his 30s, headed a group that purchased the club. e new ownership began a renaissance in which players like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, Kris Letang, and Jordan Staal again made the Pens a powerhouse on the ice, led them to a third Stanley Cup championship in 2009, and secured one of the best new buildings in the NHL: the Consol Energy Center. In 2016 the Penguins qualified for the playoffs for the tenth consecutive season, winning their fourth Stanley Cup by defeating the San Jose Sharks in a 4–2 series. In Classic Pens, author David Finoli’s tour of the best moments in the Penguins’ long history will evoke special memories from longtime fans and delight those who currently follow the team.

    Book SynopsisOn the fortieth anniversary of the historic Miracle on Ice, Mike Eruzione—the captain of the 1980 U.S Men’s Olympic Hockey Team, who scored the winning goal—recounts his amazing career on ice, the legendary upset against the Soviets, and winning the gold medal.It is the greatest American underdog sports story ever told: how a team of college kids and unsigned amateurs, under the tutelage of legendary coach—and legendary taskmaster—Herb Brooks, beat the elite Soviet hockey team on their way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the U.S.—the youngest team in the competition—were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians. But the Americans’ irrepressible optimism, skill, and fearless attitude helped them outplay the seasoned Soviet team and deliver their iconic w

    Random House Canada Walter Gretzky On Family Hockey and Healing

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe inspiring story of an ordinary man who, from humble beginnings and against the odds of a devastating illness, has led—is leading—an extraordinary life.To many people, Walter Gretzky is the ultimate dad, the father of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, and the first inspired coach to a talented young boy. Walter’s major insight into hockey—that a player should “go where the puck is going”—guided Wayne’s brilliant style, and Wayne himself has said about his talent: “It’s God-given. It’s Wally-given.” It’s safe to say that no other famous hockey player’s father is held in such high esteem, and that Walter Gretzky has carved out this singular niche in his own right.Now, for the first time, Walter tells at length the story of his life, about growing up on a small family farm, about meeting and marrying Phyllis, about raising four boys and a girl in a modest home in Brantford on the salary of a telephone repairman, about hanging onto his modesty and values when the comet of talent and celebrity hit.Walter also talks about the process of recovering from a stroke that came close to killing him ten years ago. Through his own grit and determination, and with the help of dedicated therapists and doctors, his family and friends, Walter battled back from an aneurysm that left him with many cognitive difficulties and destroyed a decade of memories—including his recollection of the death of his mother and almost all of Wayne’s NHL triumphs of the eighties.As many of the people who have encountered Walter even briefly will testify, he is very charismatic, and it’s his extraordinary compassion, which has flourished since his stroke, that makes him so compelling. Yes, he struggles with some limitations, but he has also discovered a calling in helping others. All of his many public speaking engagements are for charity, and this book would not exist were it not for Walter’s role as the official spokesperson for Canada’s Heart and Stroke Foundation. The only way he would ever agree to talk about himself at such length was in the hope that his experience with stroke would be useful to other people. “Every second of every day is important to me,” he writes, “and I only hope that if telling my story can help even one person, then all of this will be worth it. And remember, there is life after stroke…look at me!”

    Book Synopsis#1 National BestsellerThis hockey generation's brightest talent has been plagued by concussions. Now, the very style of play that has brought Crosby such success may be heralding the end of his career.Sidney Crosby is arguably the best player ever to put on skates. You could argue that Bobby was better, or Wayne, or Gordie. But it would be hard to argue that any of those guys changed the game as much as Sid. No defenceman came along in Bobby's wake to play like him. There will never be another 99. But in Crosby's case, the entire league was re-made in his image. The game can be divided into two eras: before and after Sidney Crosby arrived in 2005, breaking Mario Lemieux's rookie scoring record. Says NHL star Matt Duchene, who entered the league in 2008, just three years after Crosby: Just in the time that I was going from peewee and bantam to junior, there was a whole other game before and after.

And when he stepped out onto the ice against the Montreal Canadiens, not only did he fulfil the childhood dream he shared with so many other Canadian kids, he did something that had never been done before: He broke hockey's colour barrier--just as his hero, Jackie Robinson, had done for baseball.     In that pioneering first NHL game, O'Ree proved that no one could stop him from being a hockey player. But he soon learned that he could never be just a hockey player. He would always be a Black player, with all that entails. There were ugly name-calling and stick-swinging incidents, and nights when the Bruins had to be escorted to their bus by the police.      But O'Ree never backed down. When he
