  The NHL is the second-oldest sports league in America. Its long and illustrious history is embodied in its championship, the Stanley Cup, which has been competed for since 1893. This official NHL fans' guide gives comprehensive histories of each of the 26 teams in today's league, with a special feature on each team's most celebrated star. There is also a gallery of 25 of the sport's biggest stars, each with action shots, a biography and a career statistics box. The Stanley Cup is featured in depth, with full coverage of the playoffs, and detailed reports of the five greatest finals. The history of the All-Star game, annual since 1947, is also covered, complete with a table showing the results of all the games. The final chapter takes a tour round the NHL Hall of Fame in Toronto, and introduces 50 of the greatest names and most colourful personalities in the history of ice hockey.
