Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
The entire history of the Stanley Cup through 1967 is detailed in the three books that comprise this incredible undertaking published by the National Hockey League on the occasion of the Canadian centennial. Researched and written by hockey historian Charles L. Coleman, the "Trail of the Stanley Cup" is divided into three distinct volumes. The first book covers the silver bowl's origins, from its donation in 1893 by former Canadian Governor General Lord Stanley, through to 1926, the last season that any team outside of the NHL competed for the Cup. The second volume covers the period from 1927 to 1946, an era that began with the peak of the league's first growth period, followed by the challenges of the Great Depression and World War II. The final volume spans what has become known as the "Original Six" era, from 1947 to 1967, when the six surviving NHL teams - the Boston Bruins, the Chicago Black Hawks, the Detroit Red Wings, the Montreal Canadiens, the New York Rangers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs - were the only clubs competing for the Cup.
