My day with the Cup : NHL players tell their stories about hometown celebrations with hockey's greatest trophy / by Lang, Jim,1965-author.;
"There is no trophy like the Stanley Cup. It has the names of every champion who's won it engraved on its shining sides. And when it is won, it is presented first to the players, who have fought so hard to raise it above their heads. The Cup is special in another way, too. Every summer, it goes on a cross-continent tour (and sometimes overseas), visiting every player, coach, and team member who won it that year. Everyone gets their day with the Cup -- chaperoned by one of the ever-watchful Keepers of the Cup from the Hockey Hall of Fame to make sure it doesn't get into too much trouble. The Cup has been everywhere, from the bottom of a pool at a rock star's mansion, to a ride through the sky above Montreal in a helicopter flown by none other than hockey legend Guy Lafleur. It has served beer and champagne, breakfast cereal for kids, popcorn, and hotdogs. It brings joy to players and fans and inspires awe everywhere it goes. Veteran sportscaster and bestselling author Jim Lang has interviewed more than 30 players and coaches, and a couple of Keepers of the Cup, to collect these behind-the-scenes stories of the Stanley Cup's adventures. Each one is special, but they all share strong themes of family and friends, community, gratitude, and the feeling that the greatest achievements in life are best when shared with others."--

Hockey's lost boy [videorecording] : the rise & fall of George Patterson / by Morrisey, Dale,screenwriter,film director.; Binks, Andrew,narrator.; Factory Film Studio,film distributor.;
Narrated by Andrew Binks.George Patterson laced up with the newly christened Toronto Maple Leafs on February 17, 1927, unaware he would score his first NHL goal that night, let alone the first goal in the history of the team. He would go on to play for the Montreal Canadians. Then, he would become a star for the wild New York Americans - a team founded and owned by a gangster and rum-runner. Patterson would go on to be a founding player with the AHL and then return home to Kingston where a promising coaching and officiating career was destroyed by scandal. Along the way as the Leafs turned their backs on their own past, Patterson faded into the shadows of hockey history.E.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.

Ken Reid's hometown hockey heroes / by Reid, Ken,1974-author.;
"From Sportsnet Central host and broadcaster Ken Reid comes an inspiring and entertaining new collection of hockey stories about local legends who define the game and its values in communities across Canada. In many communities across Canada, hockey lives in the nearby arenas and leagues that forge both decades-long rivalries and unbreakable friendships. Fans show up to cheer not for distant NHL superstars, but for the homegrown heroes who define their town. These players don't always make it to the big leagues, but they inevitably become legends. In this entertaining collection, Canadian broadcaster and Sportsnet Central host Ken Reid tells their uplifting stories, from Pictou, Nova Scotia, to Kimberley, British Columbia--and everywhere in between. There's Robbie Forbes, who arrived in Newfoundland in the mid-eighties still dreaming of the pros and ended up giving the town a dream of its own when he led the Corner Brook Royals to a Canadian Senior Hockey title. He also happens to be Sidney Crosby's uncle. In a legendary Ontario community, the name Paul Polillo is spoken in the same reverential breath as Wayne Gretzky in their shared hometown of Brantford. There's also the tragic story of George Pelawa, who may have been the inspiration for Tom Cochrane & Red Rider's famous song "Big League." And Tyson Wuttunee, an Indigenous player in Saskatchewan who, through hockey, found the family and home he'd always longed for. Featuring heartwarming stories of grit, leadership, and life-long bonds, Ken Reid's Hometown Hockey Heroes celebrates how hockey, and the values the game teaches, can shape our communities for the better"--

Before the lights go out : a season inside a game worth saving / by Fitz-Gerald, Sean,author.;
" A love letter to a sport that's losing itself, from one of Canada's best sports writers. Canadian hockey is approaching a state of crisis. It's become more expensive, more exclusive, and effectively off-limits to huge swaths of the potential sports-loving population. Youth registration numbers are stagnant; efforts to appeal to new Canadians are often grim at best; the game, increasingly, does not resemble the country of which it's for so long been an integral part. These signs worried Sean Fitz-Gerald. As a lifelong hockey fan and father of a young mixed-race son falling headlong in love with the game, he wanted to get to the roots of these issues. His entry point: a season with the Peterborough Petes, a storied OHL team far from its former glory in a once-emblematic Canadian city that is finding itself on the wrong side of the country's changing demographics. Fitz-Gerald profiles the players, coaches and front office staff, a mix of world-class talents with NHL aspirations and Peterborough natives happy with more modest dreams. Through their experiences, their widely varied motivations and expectations, we get a rich, colourful understanding of who ends up playing hockey in Canada and why. Fitz-Gerald interweaves the action of the season with portraits of public figures who've shaped and been shaped by the game: authors who captured its spirit, politicians who exploited it, and broadcasters who try to embody and sell it. He finds his way into community meetings full of angry season ticket holders, as well as into sterile boardrooms full of the sport's institutional brain trust, unable to break away from the inertia of tradition and hopelessly at war with itself. Before the Lights Go Out is a moving, funny, yet unsettling picture of a sport at a crossroads. Fitz-Gerald's warm but rigorous journalistic approach reads, in the end, like a letter to a troubled friend: it's not too late to save hockey in this country, but who has the will to do it?"-- Provided by publisher.
