There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.

Long considered Canadian, ice hockey is in truth a worldwide phenomenon--and has been for centuries. In Hockey: A Global History, Stephen Hardy and Andrew C. Holman draw on twenty-five years of research to present THE monumental end-to-end history of the sport. Here is the story of on-ice stars and organizational visionaries, venues and classic games, the evolution of rules and advances in equipment, and the ascendance of corporations and instances of bureaucratic chicanery. 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. Sweeping in scope and vivid with detail, Hockey: A Global History is the saga of how the coolest game changed the world--and vice versa.

From 1972-1979, the World Hockey Association (WHA) functioned as the only major hockey league to rival the established National Hockey League (NHL) since the NHL's 1917 formation. Not expected to survive its first season, the WHA managed to string together seven controversial yet entertaining seasons, & in the process permanently changed the face of North American major league hockey. It was the league that provided a refreshing career boost for two of hockey's greatest stars, Bobby Hill & Gordie Howe, while giving future stars Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier & Mike Gartner their first taste of major league action. THE COMPLETE...WORLD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION, 1972-1979 offers the reader a factual historical account of the WHA from its inception through to its demise. Features of the book include histories of each of the teams, chronologies of important events & anecdotal stories. The book also features complete game-by-game results for every game played during the league's duration, including playoffs, all-star games, & international series. Further sections provide complete player, goal tender & coaching statistics, team standings, seasonal statistics, complete player draft charts & much more (See our Flyer in the February Forthcoming Books!).

Going Top Shelf brings together for the first time in one collection some of Canada's best hockey poems and song lyrics. Included are works by such outstanding Canadian poets as Michael Ondaatje, Al Purdy, Margaret Avison, Don Gutteridge and Lorna Crozier.

Going Top Shelf represents a cross-section of Canada 's poets and composers, ranging from 19th-century romantic poet Sir Charles G.C. Roberts to contemporary pop songstress Jane Siberry. Altogether, more than 30 authors and songwriters from across Canada reflect an intriguing diversity of forms and literary expression. Yet in all the poems, ice--or the sport played to extensively in Canada upon it--is used to express the ideas, beliefs and attitudes of this diverse group of Canadian authors. For the poetry scholar, for the lover of good music, for the hockey fan, this is a collection to be enjoyed. Indeed, Going Top Shelf represents a literary "top shelf" of hockey poetry without equal.
