The Search for a Hockey Book
One of the earliest things that interested me in hockey was a book I used to get from my elementary school library. If I remember right, it was simply titled "Stanley Cup Stories". If you looked at the library card in the back of the book I was responsible for nearly all its use.
The problem is, I can't seem to find it. My old school no longer has it, most likely due to my losing it at some point a decade or so ago. I've searched online and in old book stores, and have a few leads, but so far I have come up empty handed. If anyone out there knows of the book I am talking about, and knows more about it, or even where a copy can be found, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
The only things I can recall is that the book was hardcover and brown, with the title in black on the lower right corner of the cover. Two chapters I remember included the story of the 1924 Canadiens fixing their car and leaving the Cup on the side of the road and the 1928 Cup finals when Rangers goalie Lorne Chabot was hurt and coach Lester Patrick suited up and played the rest of the game.
It was a great book that I couldn't get enough of as a kid. I'd like to be able to go through that book again, I just need some help in finding it.
