Canada's Olympic Hockey Teams is the first comprehensive history of our incredibly successful Olympic teams, beginning in 1920, and leading up to the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan. During the five pre-war Olympic Games, Canada won gold four times. Since World War Two, we have won two gold, three silver, and two bronze medals. Complete with an exhaustive Olympic Games summary and statistical archive, Canada's Olympic Hockey Teams also features more than 75 black-and-white photographs--many previously unpublished--as well as more than 30 colour shots of recent Olympic action. Author Andrew Podnieks has compiled an astounding array of anecdotes, little-known facts, and fascinating details that pay homage to some of the most exciting hockey ever played.
This is a great book full of statistics, photographs and information on Olympic hockey from 1920 to 1998. It focusses mainly on the amateur-professional debate that has surrounded the Olympic hockey for years.
