Abstract:
Legendary hockey writer Kevin Allen weaves together the epic tale of the USA Hockey organization, the governing body for amateur ice hockey in the United States, beginning with the earliest days and leading up to their 75th anniversary. Detailing an organization that touches the lives of over half a million members and publishes the most widely circulated hockey publication in the world, the book reveals how it all began out of a shoebox in Tom Lockhart's New York City apartment and grew into the excitement generated by the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Honoring the grassroots efforts of a remarkable group and the sport that it honors, this book is a one-of-a-kind informative keepsake of all things USA Hockey.
