“Official Centennial Publication” is a historical treasure

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Toronto’s NHL franchise, renowned hockey author and historian Kevin Shea has assembled “The Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club Official Centennial Publication.”

Co-written with Jason Wilson, the magnificent 350-page volume documents the first century of the franchise, first known as the Arenas, then the St. Patricks, then of course the name we have all come to know, the Maple Leafs.

From triumph, to tragedy, to tribulation – Keon, Bailey, Ballard – the Battle of the Bulge, and Brian Burke’s belligerence, a hundred years of the franchise’s history is traced thoroughly from Armstrong to Zigomanis.
