A wildly evocative chronicle of the decade that changed hockey forever.'Lady Byng died in Boston' read a sign in the Garden arena in 1970, a cheery dismissal of the NHL trophy awarded the game's most gentlemanly player. A new age of hockey was dawning. For 30 years, hockey was an orderly and (relatively) wellbehaved sport. There was one Commissioner, six teams and five coloursred, white, black, blue and yellow. Oh, and one nationality. Until 1967, every player, coach, referee and GM in the NHL had been a Canadian. And then came NHL expansion, the founding of the WHA, and garish new uniforms. The Seventies had arrived: the era that gave us not only disco, polyester suits, lava lamps and mullets but also the movie Slap Shot and the arrest of ten NHL players for onice mayhem. But it also gave us hockey's greatest encounter (the 1972 CanadaRussia Summit), its most splendid team, the 197677 Montreal Canadiens, and the most aesthetically satisfying gamethe threeall tie on New Year's Eve, 1975, between the Canadiens and the Soviet Red Army.Modern hockey was born in the sport's wild, sensational, sometimes ugly Seventies growth spurt. The forces at play in the decade's battle for hockey supremacydazzling speed vs. brute forceare now, for better or worse, part of hockey's DNA. This book is a welcome reappraisal of the ten years that changed how the sport was played and experienced. Informed by firsthand interviews with players and game officials, and sprinkled with sidebars on the art and artifacts that defined Seventies hockey, the book brings dramatically alive hockey's most eventful, exciting decade.
