Description:
Nelson Canada, 1980. 191 pp, 11 3/4" H. Colour and b&w photographs. "In the long history of thoroughbred racing, there has never been a decade like the seventies. (It) opened with Northern Dancer's son Nijinsky II winning England's Triple Crown, the first horse to do so in thirty-five years. And in the United States, where the Triple Crown had gone unclaimed since 1948, the decade saw no less than three Triple Crown winners: Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed. From Ascot to Belmont to Woodbine and Chantilly, the great horses thrilled racing enthusiasts. 'Champions' traces the careers of these horses, explores their characters and capacities. These are stories of speed and courage, tenacity and strength." Contents: Foreword; Affirmed; Alleged; Allez France; Dahlia; Exceller; Forego; Grundy; Mill Reef; The Minstrel; Nijinsky II; Northern Dancer; Red Rum; Seattle Slew; Secretariat; Spectacular Bird; Troy; Youth; Epilogue; The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe,… Read More

Description:
Scarborough, Ontario: Prentice-Hall, 1988. 356 pp, 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "When the Edmonton Oilers won their first Stanley Cup in 1984, Albertans rejoiced. They had waited 91 years for just this moment. When they won it again in 1985, a new era in hockey was born: The Edmonton Era. Just six years after being incorporated into the National Hockey League, the Oilers had won back-to-back Stanley Cups and rewritten half the record book. In these few years they had grown from a cocky, immature team into a championship team with character and charisma. Kevin Lowe describes all of this and more. In particular, he talks about his teammates - the magnificent Mark Messier, the Flying Finns, the unbeatable Grant Fuhr, Boy Wonder Wayne Gretzky and, of course, the controversial Glen Sather. (This) is the complete, dynamic chronicle of the team that Gretzky helped to propel to greatness, told from the point of view of (his) roommate and teammate Kevin Lowe." Slight wrinkle at… Read More

Description:
Victoria, B.C.: Orca, 1997. 215 pp, 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "Roderick Haig-Brown's fame as a writer, a conservationist and judge made him a widely recognized public figure. His books on fly fishing brough him an international reputation and visitors from all over the world. His wife Ann shared in many aspects of Roderick's public life, while also establishing her own more local, but nonetheless significant, reputation as an inspirational librarian and teacher, and a community activist. Now their eldest daugher Valerie has written an intimate biography of her parents that reveals the private lives behind the public figures - their intense devotion to each other, their mutual love of books, the daily delights and frustrations of life on a small farm while juggling careers of writing, teaching, judging and raising four children. Much of the book is based on private correspondence between Ann and Roderick, both before and during their marriage, as well as Roderick's early… Read More

Vancouver: Raincoast, 2005. Unpaginated, oblong (9 3/4" H x 10 1/2" D). Colour illustrations. "Ryan really loves to play hockey. Every year, his dad makes a rink in the backyard, and Ryan plays after school with his little brother Jason. But Ryan is small for his age and tends to get pushed around. He really wants to make the select team, but has to practice extra hard to pass the tryout. Ryan has always followed the Edmonton Oilers and his hero is Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky is small, too, but he sure can skate and score. And he is leading the Oilers to the Stanley Cup finals. Inspired by Gretzky's example, Ryan makes the team - and watches his hero take on the reigning champs, the mighty New York Islanders! The latest in Mike Leonetti's acclaimed Hockey Heroes series, (this) is a heartwarming story about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself."

Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 2015. [184] pp, square (10 1/4" H x 10 1/4" D). Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs. "In the fall of 1965, Lewis Parker received a call from Maclean's magazine offering what was, for him, an unusual gig: accompanying a reporter to Peterborough to cover the Toronto Maple Leafs' preseason training camp, which included the stars of the day: Johnny Bower, George Armstrong, Terry Sawchuk, Tim Horton, Frank Mahovlich, Marcel Pronovost, Bob Baun, Eddie Shack, Dave Keon, Ron Ellis, and Pete Stemkowski. Lewis would spend some time with the team and shoot stills that would run alongside the magazine piece. He owned a Graflex camera, the standard equipment used by the newshounds of the era, and was an excellent photographer, but until then he had never shot for publication. Though it was a career departure, he agreed, and the results of his time spent with the team during training camp are within these pages: beautiful, visually arresting… Read More

"(T)akes a fascinating look at the personalities and events that have made the Gardens Canada's most famous building. It is the interesting story of the building of the Gardens and of the hockey greats who have played there. It is also, in many ways, the story of popular entertainment in Canada from 1931 to 1981. Over 100 million people have been entertained by ballet, opera, circuses, skating extravaganzas and concerts of all sorts, in addition to almost every kind of sporting event from boxing and wrestling to bicycle racing. The arena has also been the site of political and religious rallies, benefits in support of the war effort, community events such as Brownie and Boy Scout pageants, and service club fund-raisers. This nostalgic book will remind sports fans of the Leafs' high-scoring Kid Line, of George Chuvalo going the distance with… Read More

Description:
Mississauga, Ontario: John Wiley & Sons, 2008. 518 pp, 9 1/4" H. Colour and b&w photographs. "A Hall-of-Fame goaltender, Patrick Roy holds the record for the most victories by an NHL goalie, with 551 career wins in the regular season and 151 in the playoffs. He has hoisted the Stanley Cup four times (twice with the Montreal Canadiens and twice with the Colorado Avalanche) and was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in three of those four Stanley Cup campaigns. He has won the Vezina Trophy three times and is a five-time recipient of the Jennings Trophy. An incredible hockey talent who was instrumental in changing the very art of goaltending, Roy's success was driven as much by determination and perseverance as by talent. (This book) reveals the man behind the mask - the hopes and disappointments, triumphs and failures, and the all too human side of a man whom many consider the greatest goaltender in the history of hockey."
