Hockey Night Fever

Modern hockey was born in the sport''s wild, sensational, sometimes ugly Seventies growth spurt. The forces at play in the decade''s battle for hockey supremacy-dazzling speed vs. brute force-are now, for better or worse, part of hockey''s DNA. This book is a welcome reappraisal of the ten years that changed how the sport was played and experienced. Informed by first-hand interviews with players and game officials, and sprinkled with sidebars on the art and artifacts that defined Seventies hockey, the book brings dramatically alive hockey''s most eventful years.
