Book Reviews of The Hartford Whalers (CT) (Images of Sports)
Book Review: New England's "other hockey team" beautifully remembered
Summary: 5 Stars
The Whalers rich history is beautifully preserved by Codagnone in a book that is a must buy for any serious hockey fan. The Whalers started their existence in 1972 in the cozy confines of both the Boston Arena and Boston Garden. Competing with the Bruins of the vaunted Orr/Esposito era they more than held their own as they captured the WHA's Avco Trophy behind the leadership of former Bruin captain Teddy Green. Their Hartfod years were marked by the arrival of Gordie Howe with sons Mark and Marty and later highlighted by the play of stars such as Ron Francis, Mike Liut, Kevin Dineen, Blaine Stoughton and Chris Pronger among others. This richly illustrated tale pays respect to an underdog franchise that finally gained Stanley Cup glory in 2006 as the Carolina Hurricanes.
Summary of The Hartford Whalers (CT) (Images of Sports)
The Hartford Whalers began their existence in Boston as the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association (WHA). The Whalers played in every season of the WHA's seven-year existence and were the league's first champions. Although their games were well attended in Boston, the upstart league was never serious competition for the powerhouse Bruins. In 1975, they moved to Hartford to play in the new Hartford Civic Center, and in 1979, along with Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Quebec, joined the National Hockey League. They moved to North Carolina following the 1997 season and won a Stanley Cup as the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006. The Hartford Whalers is a pictorial tribute to this beloved and much-missed Hartford institution.General Books
