Description

Using NHL action photographs, illustrations, stories, and trivia, this book is a journey through time for both hockey fans and those new to the game.

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid who's into hockey or even one who thinks they might be after catching a game on TV this one hits different. "Hockey: Then to WOW!" takes you through the history and biggest moments of the sport using real NHL action shots, funny stories, and trivia that actually stick. It's got this way of making you feel like you're right there watching the plays happen while learning about how the game evolved over the years. The pictures alone are worth it, especially for younger readers or anyone who learns better visually. Parents will appreciate that it's packed with real information but never feels like homework it reads more like chatting with someone who really knows their stuff. If your kid loved "The Game of Change" or any book that mixes sports history with great photos, this one's right up there. It's short enough for a quick read but meaty enough that they'll want to flip through it more than once.
