Rapidly evolving from the earlier game, the 1927-28 NHL season was the first that allowed forward passing in defending and neutral zones, with the following season witnessing forward passing permitted in defensive and neutral zones and into attacking zone if pass receiver is in the neutral zone when the pass is made. There was still no forward passing allowed inside the attacking zone. From the Roaring Twenties, we offer scarce and hard to find Official NHL Rule Books for 1927-28 and 1928-29. At 3 1/2" x 6", each rule book features the date on the cover and contains 20 pages, with the full rules of the league listed within the contents. The 1927-28 book was sponsored by Spalding, with a number of period ads within, while the 1928-29 book has no advertising. Regarding condition, the 1927-28 book shows wear from use including dog-eared pages and light edge staining, while the only flaw in the 1928-29 book is rusting to the staples. This pair is ideal for antique NHL collection.
