Book Synopsis The Montreal Canadiens by : D'Arcy Jenish
Download or read book The Montreal Canadiens written by D'Arcy Jenish and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller The definitive history of the Montreal Canadiens – now updated with the inside story of the tumultuous 2009 season. Before there were slapshots, Foster Hewitt, or even an NHL, there were the Canadiens. Founded on December 4, 1909, the team won its first Stanley Cup in 1916. Since then, the Canadiens have won 23 more championships, making them the most successful hockey team in the world. The team has survived two wars, the Great Depression, NHL expansion, and countless other upheavals, thanks largely to the loyalty of fans and an extraordinary cast of players, coaches, owners, and managers. The Montreal Canadiens captures the full glory of this saga. It weaves the personalities, triumphs, heartaches, and hysteria into a compelling narrative with a surprise on every page. It sheds new light on old questions – how the team colours were chosen, how the Canadiens came to be known as the Habitants – and goes behind the scenes of tumultuous recent events still awaiting thorough examination: why Scotty Bowman was passed over as general manager after Sam Pollock resigned; why Pollock’s successor, Irving Grunman, failed; why Serge Savard was dumped as GM so hastily despite his record. Colourful and controversial, The Montreal Canadiens is the history of a team that has been making news for 100 years – and continues to do so with the return of legendary player Bob Gainey as general manager, determined to bring the Stanley Cup back to Montreal.

Book Synopsis Hockey, Heroes and Me by : Red Fisher
Download or read book Hockey, Heroes and Me written by Red Fisher and published by McClelland & Stewart Limited. This book was released on 1994 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few writers know professional sports, especially hockey and especially the Montreal Canadiens, better than Red Fisher. Starting with the now-defunct Montreal Star, then moving to the Gazette, Fisher has covered the many ups and occasional downs of the mighty Habs for close to forty of his sixty-eight years. In fact, his first major assignment in hockey occurred on St. Patrick's Day, 1955 - the night of the infamous "Richard Riot" at the Montreal Forum. That story, among many others, is vividly rendered on the pages of Hockey, Heroes, and Me, Red Fisher's long-awaited memoirs. It's an affectionate, sometimes irreverent, occasionally angry, often hilarious remembrance of days past from someone who seems to have known everyone and seen everything. Rich in anecdote, shrewd in observation, this book is studded with the names and the exploits of the famous, from Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, and "Boom-Boom" Geoffrion to Don Cherry, Glen Sather, Scotty Bowman, and Wayne Gretzky. At the same time, these memoirs aren't exclusively about hockey. Here you'll find stories about Red's encounters with boxing stars Archie Moore and Floyd Patterson, and the Expos' first manager, baseball's Gene Mauch. There's also a tribute to Montreal's highflying wrestling and boxing promoter, the outrageous Eddie Quinn, as well as a loving remembrance of Miss Hecht, Red's grade seven teacher. There are poignant moments as well. A salute to the late, illustrious broadcaster Danny Gallivan, famous across Canada as "the voice of the Canadiens". A visit to an extended-care home to see Toe Blake, the man who coached the Canadiens to a record eight Stanley Cups in thirteen seasons but who now lives "locked in the terrible visethat is Alzheimer's". Scoops and "inside" stories abound, of course. There's the revelation that Fisher knew of the famous Wayne Gretzky trade of 1988 months before it occurred but was put off the trail by the adroit stickhandling of Oilers coach Glen Sather and team owner Peter Pocklington. There's the story of how Red helped pave the way for Phil Esposito's astonishing move to the Boston Bruins from Chicago in 1967. You'll see how Red was able to beat virtually every other reporter to the shocking Guy Lafleur resignation story of 1984.

Download or read book To Hold It High written by Danny Geoffrion and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To you from failing hands we throw/The torch, be yours to hold it high: This inscription from John McCrae's famous poem In Flanders Fields has adorned the dressing room of the legendary Montreal Canadiens since 1952, inspiring every subsequent generation of player. A fast-paced collaboration by best-selling author Paul Deepan and raconteur extraordinaire Danny Geoffrion, To Hold it High traces the hockey lineage of Danny's grandfather Howie Morenz, his father Boom-Boom Geoffrion, himself, and his son Blake, all of whom played for the Canadiens (Les Habitants, to their legions of adoring fans). But this is not just another sports book about the on-ice exploits of famous heroes. To Hold It High is a saga of four generations who played for the same professional sports franchise, a feat not duplicated in any pro sport on the planet. This family story is intertwined with a history of a hockey team, a province, and a country. The history of the team cannot be told without mention of this family. The story of the family cannot be told without mention of the team. Even though so many individual greats have undeniably held and passed the torch before, and will do so again, no family but this one has gone through so much to hold that torch so high, pass it so often, and mark their place in Habitants history for so long. This is not just another sports book about on-ice exploits by legendary heroes. From the tragedies of on-ice collisions that ended lives and careers, to the hilarity of locker room rookie initiations, To Hold It High gives the reader a behind the scenes insight into the life of a professional athlete. Any student of the fastest game on Earth will love this book, as will any fan of Les Habitants. To Hold it High is a great read. I got so engaged with the story that I didn't notice how much fascinating hockey history I learned along the way. Occasionally hilarious, sometimes poignant, always entertaining, this is a book that every hockey fan, no matter which NHL team they root for, should devour. David Poile, General Manager, Nashville Predators To Hold it High weaves a tapestry of a family, a hockey team, a province, and a country. It's also a fast-paced read salted with all the elements of a great story: sadness, humor, and courage in the face of adversity. A rare tale for everyone who loves our game. Geoff Molson, Owner, President and Chief Executive Officer, Montreal Canadiens

Download or read book The Greatest Game written by Todd Denault and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This game wasn't about money, points, or trophies. Instead it was played for pride, both personal and national. It was a confrontation twenty years in the making and it marked a turning point in the history of hockey. On December 31, 1975, the Montreal Canadiens, the most successful franchise in the NHL, hosted the touring Central Red Army, the dominant team in the Soviet Union. For three hours millions of people in both Canada and the Soviet Union were glued to their television sets. What transpired that evening was a game that surpassed all the hype and was subsequently referred to as "the greatest game ever played." Held at the height of the Cold War, this remarkable contest transcended sports and took on serious cultural, sociological, and political overtones. And while the final result was a 3-3 tie, no one who saw the game was left disappointed. This exhibition of skill was hockey at its finest, and it set the bar for what was to follow as the sport began its global expansion.
