For anyone who is an NHL fan, this is a treasure trove of history in pictures and stories.
The book would make a fantastic coffee table book and is 224 pages chocked full of colored pictures, stats, history, with contents in the beginning and an index at the back of the book.
Starting at the beginning, 1917, The Birth of the NHL up until 2016. I am sure any and all NHL fans will find this book interesting, full of facts and probably bits and pieces not normally known.
I won this amazing book in a Goodreads giveaway. I am not obligated to write a review and all thoughts, opinions, and ratings are my own.

Lots of great information but I am especially happy he didn't shy away from the Moore story.
