The Game We Knew: Hockey in the Sixties
- Used Book in Good Condition
The 1960s was a decade of major transition for the National Hockey League. Bitter rivalries were the order of the day, especially between Canada's two teams, as the Leafs and the Canadiens accounted for nine of the decade's Stanley Cup winners. The league doubled in size as new teams in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Oakland brought hockey to new fans throughout North America. Aging superstars like Maurice "Rocket" Richard passed the torch to the next generation of stellar players such as Bobby Orr. Hall of Famers like Johnny Bower, Dave Keon, Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, Terry Sawchuk and Glenn Hall were at their peak. Through it all, innovative action photographer Harold Barkley was rinkside, recording for posterity the greatest moments of hockey in the sixties. To his stunning colour photographs, accomplished hockey writer Mike Leonetti adds intriguing, fact-filled captions and comments. In the book's foreword, Toronto Maple Leafs great Frank Mahovlich candidly recounts his personal highlights. Like its companion volume, the critically acclaimed The Game We Knew: Hockey in the Fifties, this book is a treasure trove for dedicated hockey fans as well as newcomers to the game. The Game We Knew: Hockey in the Sixties is an inspiring tribute to one of hockey's most turbulent and exciting eras.
