About the author
Kevin Shea
21 books15 followersWindsor-born, music-industry man turned hockey historian, Kevin Shea is the real deal. He has the heart of the game, mind of a librarian and the memory of a goal judge.
From his experience working at the Hockey Hall of Fame to his 100 Grades of Shea series on Substack, he chronicles the sport like a man documenting a living myth.
His books, Barilko: Without a Trace, Lord Stanley: The Man Behind The Cup and The Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club: Official Centennial Publication are titles that belong on every shelf beside a puck and a program stub. He reminds us that hockey isn’t just a pastime — it’s an archive of character and country.
Kevin's 22nd book, out in time for Christmas 2025, Barclay Bear and the Forest Rangers Hockey Club, is his second foray into hockey books targeted, but not limited, to children.
Kevin lives in Ajax Ontario with his partner and his cat, Skye.
