The NHL : 100 years of on-ice action and boardroom battles / D'Arcy Jenish. by Jenish, D'Arcy, 1952- Doubleday Canada, 2013.

ISBN:  9780385671460 (hc.) 0385671466 (hc.) Description:  415 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  The National Hockey League -- born in a Montreal hotel room on November 26, 1917 -- has much to celebrate as it approaches its centenary. Over the course of its first century, the NHL's fortunes have ebbed and flowed. The league has awarded many franchises only to see some of them falter, fail and fold. How on earth has the NHL survived? The answer lies in the remarkable fact that it has had only five presidents and one commissioner. Two of these chiefs were stop-gaps. For the balance of league's ninety-plus years, four men have shaped and guided its fortunes and controlled the tough, hard-nosed, sometimes unruly owners who constituted the board of governors. This is the story of two perpetual struggles -- the one on the ice and the one going on behind the scenes to keep the whole enterprise afloat.
