This is a true hockey history book, not just about the man who helped form the Boston Bruins, but also added to the game by inventing a better puck, making a better goal along with nets, implementing rule changes and many more things as well. Some of his ideas were not put into place until decades latter. You get a story of Art Ross’s life from childhood and all of the places he lived and the sports he played. You are shown how good of an athlete he was in all sports not just hockey, but that when he played hockey he excelled at it. Winning the cup as a player. You are taken through the formation of the Bruins and how each year’s team was formed. Players acquired and also arguments between players and other management personnel and how some of them would last until he passed away. Overall a great hockey book, about the history of the game. A very good read for a fan of the game.
