Our Game: The History of Hockey in Canada provides a play-by-play of Canada's national sport’s evolution over three centuries, from the first publicly played game through the recent NHL lock-out. Along with essential information about rules, gear, and stats, readers will learn about hockey’s most unforgettable moments and most talented stars.

This is the most comprehensive children's book ever written about the history of hockey, from the Canadian perspective. Kids who are passionate about hockey want to know everything there is to know about the game; this book delves into the history of the sport as a whole, rather than focusing on just one era or star player.
