Review:
Hockey came to life in the
British Isles, but became a staple in Canada in the 1870’s. The rules are to
skate, hit the puck and score. Of course, it’s a lot more detailed than that.
Hockey has evolved and anyone who would like to learn about its history will
find plenty of photos showing the progression of the uniform, helmets, pucks
and sticks too. Cartoon illustrations share categories and fun facts regarding
fans, players and traditions.
Readers will learn about
the earliest ice skaters from 5000 years ago. Yes, it’s true! The design of the
hockey stick and puck stem from the 1800’s. The hockey sweater has come a long
way too with its design. Goal pads, arenas, player origins, goalies and so much
more can be found in this guide. The strategies and characters of hockey are engaging.
Readers will enjoy learning everything there is to know about this famous sport
played on the ice.
