The Spirit of the Game: Exceptional Photography from the Hockey Hall of Fame

From hockey's earliest days, photography has documented the passions evoked by this ever-changing game and its stars. The Spirit of the Game uses 300 superb photos to tell hockey's multilayered story and to celebrate those qualities that make the game matter to those who watch and play it.
The Spirit of the Game is the first photo book to organize the story of hockey both chronologically and thematically, cutting across simple time lines or team-by-team organization. It is also a book full of detail about how hockey has changed - from skates to TV cameras, from the rule book to the fans in the seats. Photos span 106 years from the Montreal AAA, Senior Amateur champions of 1889, to the New Jersey Devils, Stanley Cup champions of 1995.
