Hardy and Holman chart modern hockey's \"birthing\" in Montreal and follow its migration from Canada south to the United States and east to Europe. The story then shifts from the sport's emergence as a nationalist battlefront to the movement of talent across international borders to the game of today, where men and women at all levels of play lace 'em up on the shinny ponds of Saskatchewan, the wide ice of the Olympics, and across the breadth of Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweeping in scope and vivid with detail, \u003ci\u003eHockey: A Global History\u003c\/i\u003e is the saga of how the coolest game changed the world--and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- From the publisher\u003c\/p\u003e"}
