The Stanley Cup
A left winger lines up a perfectly timed slap shot. The puck buzzes past the goalie's glove, and the home crowd roars. This is the Stanley Cup Finals, and ice hockey's top prize is on the line. The long history of the Cup is full of amazing stories and legendary stars. Readers will discover it all in this book.
Lord Stanley
One of the most important figures in Canadian history, Frederick Arthur Stanley's most enduring legacy is not his term as the country's sixth Governor General but the trophy cup that bears his name. Here, Lord Stanley's political legacy -- his diplomacy in dealing with the United States, his embrace of Canada's West, and his nimble handling of domestic crises -- is explored in vivid detail, fleshing out a man who was far more than just an avid sportsman.
Canada's Holy Grail
In 1892, Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley donated the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup – later known as the Stanley Cup – to crown the first Canadian hockey champions. Canada’s Holy Grail documents Lord Stanley’s personal politics, his desire to affect Canadian nationality and unity, and the larger transformations in Anglo-liberal political thought at the time. This book posits that the Stanley Cup fit directly within Anglo-American traditions of using sport to promote ideas of the national, and the donation of the cup occurred at a moment in history when Canadian nationalists needed identifying symbols. Jordan B. Goldstein asserts that only with a transformation in Anglo-liberal thought could the state legitimately act through culture to affect national identity. Drawing on primary source documentation from Lord Stanley’s archives, as well as statements by politicians and hockey enthusiasts, Canada’s Holy Grail integrates political thought into the realm of sport history through the discussion of a championship trophy that still stands as one of the most well-known and recognized Canadian national symbols.

Historical Dictionary of Ice Hockey
The earliest forms of ice hockey developed over the centuries in numerous cold weather countries. In the 17th century, a game similar to hockey was played in Holland known as kolven. But the modern sport of ice hockey arose from the efforts of college students and British soldiers in eastern Canada in the mid-19th century. Since then, ice hockey has moved from neighborhood lakes and ponds to international competitions, such as the Summit Series and the Winter Olympics. Historical Dictionary of Ice Hockey traces the history and evolution of hockey in general, as well as individual topics, from their beginnings to the present, through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary has more than 600 cross-referenced entries on the players, general managers, managers, coaches, and referees, as well as entries for teams, leagues, rules, and statistical categories. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about ice hockey.
