Download or read book Written in Blue and White written by Greg Oliver and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hockey history like you've never seen it before. Who knew that paperwork could be so fascinating? In Written in Blue and White, author Greg Oliver explores the fascinating archives of Allan Stitt, one of hockey's leading collectors, unearthing gem after gem that details the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs through the past century. Explore early contracts with players, and how the clauses evolved; read personal correspondence from Leaf players and management; find out what was behind Wally Stanowski's 1945 fine for $100; see receipts from the 1935 Stanley Cup playoffs - and learn just how much oranges cost. Since documents can't talk, Oliver seeks out the men behind the words, like former general managers Jim Gregory, Gerry McNamara, and Floyd Smith; players such as Ron Ellis, Dick Duff, and Darryl Sittler; and key behind-the-scenes people like trainers, agents, reporters, and publicists.

Book Synopsis International Sport: A Bibliography, 2000 by : Richard William Cox
Download or read book International Sport: A Bibliography, 2000 written by Richard William Cox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.
Book Synopsis Play Up! Play Up! And Play the Game! by : Leslie P. Kozak
Download or read book Play Up! Play Up! And Play the Game! written by Leslie P. Kozak and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1956 at 3 o’clock in the morning a 15-year old aspiring hockey player boarded a Greyhound bus in Yorkton, Saskatchewan to begin a journey that first took him to Maple Leaf Gardens where he achieved his childhood dream of playing in the NHL and then the journey unexpectantly led him down a path where he was able to build a 45-year career as a scientist in modern molecular medicine. Leslie Kozak explores his early life to determine how the environment created his intense competitive spirit. This exploration of life takes the reader through Leslie’s years at St. Michael’s College School, a short interlude as a Trappist monk, success as a Toronto Maple Leaf, then followed within days by a depressed fracture of his skull that ended his hockey career. Out of this journey emerges a molecular geneticist who dedicates himself in a 45-year research career to the exploration of body heat production and energy metabolism in response to a cold environment and how they could provide solutions to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Book Synopsis Hockey's Glory Days by : Dan Diamond
Download or read book Hockey's Glory Days written by Dan Diamond and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 25 years prior to expansion in 1967, big-league pro hockey consisted of only six teams and about 120 players. A document called the "C-Form," signed by young, often poor, Canadian boys, could bind a player to one franchise for life, thus insuring a team's future. Intense rivalries brewed, as the game, the rink it was played on, and the equipment players wore evolved. Offenses increased as the curved stick and the booming "slap shot" became all the rage. Hockey's Glory Days relives these exciting decades, when the Montreal Canadiens made 10 consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup finals, winning the last five, and when the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs dominated the '60s. The book features more than 126 player and team photos, plus individual and team statistics for every season from 1949-50 to 1968-69. Hockey's best forwards, goaltenders, and defensemen are profiled. The authors—experts in their field—include photographs and statistics of greats the likes of Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and Jacques Plante. Hockey's Glory Days even includes the "best" and "worst" statistics and trivia from this era.

Download or read book Not Counted written by Patrick M. Palella and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if you could create your own reality? Are the solitude and financial consequences of professional unemployment, underemployment or undetermined employment ravaging your mind, body and soul? Have you moved beyond the resignation of the corporate mold and identification by number? Does the inability of our leaders in Washington to do anything substantive to aid your situation enrage you? If the answer is yes to any of these questions it is time to stand and be counted. It is time to shamelessly pursue individual success and support your own dreams, goals and objectives. It is time to plant your own seeds and harvest your greatness. You need the ability to absorb exogenous shocks to your career and therefore to your life to achieve quantifiable results. The need to enhance ones decision making skills, physical abilities and emotional compass are needed to fight this battle. We can no longer wait for the end to gridlock in Washington to help us. It will never happen. Brothers and sisters, who are unemployed/underemployed/ employment threatened, this is a call to individual action. It is time to stand and be counted. Meet your new boss. You!

Download or read book An Extraordinary Year of Ordinary Days written by Susan Wittig Albert and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In An Extraordinary Year of Ordinary Days, best-selling mystery novelist Susan Wittig Albert invites us to revisit one of the most tumultuous years in recent memory, 2008, through the lens of 365 ordinary days in which her reading, writing, and thinkingabout issues in the wider world--from wars and economic recession to climate change--caused her to reconsider and reshape daily practices in her personal life. Albert's journal provides an engaging account of how the business of being a successful working writer blends with her rural life in the Texas Hill Country and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. As her eclectic daily reading ranges across topics from economics, food production, and oil and energy policy to poetry, place, and the writinglife, Albert becomes increasingly concerned about the natural world and the threats facing it, especially climate change and resource depletion. Asking herself, 'What does it mean? And what should I do about it",' she determines practical steps to take, such as growing more food in her garden, and also helps us to readers make sense of these issues and consider what our own responses might be. A thoughtful and thought-provoking 'book of days,' amplified with reading lists and quotations from a wide diversity of writers, An Extraordinary Year of Ordinary Days is a must-have addition for everyone's collection of writers' journals"--Cover, p. 4.
