A hundred years ago Vancouver won its first Stanley Cup. But hockey history in B.C. would not be complete without a record of its very beginnings. Before the NHL, and even before the Pacific Coast League, British Columbia was a land of vibrant hockey. Now Craig Bowlsby has uncovered and revived the old legends and given us a rink-side glimpse into this exciting past. He has included never-before published photos, paintings and drawings, plus new stories of the famous Patrick brothers in Nelson before they launched the Pacific Coast League. The book is highly detailed, including every known BC player at the time, women's teams and team and goalie records.
