The NHL 100 Years in Pictures and Stories Paperback – November 21, 2017

As someone who owns many coffee table sports books from all sports and publishers, when I come across the Hockey Hall of Fame endorsement on the book I can deduce a high quality book of design, photos, content, and packaging.This is another home run in a long series of success.The size is comparable to the Official 75th Anniversary book which I own as well.The photography leaps out at you. The color and paper quality is rich. The design is very modern and fairly easy to read.The big difference between the 75th Anniversary book and this Centennial book is the 75th Anniversary book is broken down by era and as your read everything is compiled within that era. This book breaks the stories down by the subject moment and really big moments. As I have completed the book, the moment selection is right on. Ultimately like myself and other hockey aficionados we could point to other moments and say why wasn't this included? To me we would be nit picking a pretty thorough book.Another thing is if your expectation was to learn behind the story material or detail so engrossing that you know the minute details than this book might not be for you and that would be a shame.This book displays all the best players with all their signature moments that were significant for the NHL. That is key to remember. Don't be expecting Canada Cups, Olympics (think Miracle on Ice), or other major international moments this is almost purely NHL moments.I would say this product is for any hockey fan whether you are a new fan or lifelong rink rat. I feel how the HHOF, Bob Duff, and other book collaborators put this book together it is a keepsake that you can share with friends and family a like that tells the rich history of this storied league not just by the stories but vivid photography also brings alive the very best of the first 100 years of hockey

Beautiful book. Lots of great pictures & stories. A great gift for any hockey fan. Even if you are very familiar with the history of the NHL and the Cup, you'll still find things that you didn't know. I really enjoyed it, keep it out as a coffee table book.
