This is an amazing find, indeed. An original “How To Play Hockey” instruction booklet said to have been written by original Ottawa Senators star Percy LeSueur and published in 1909. The 48-page booklet remains perfectly intact within its original cover. A two-page preface is followed by instructions on how to play goal, “as examined and approved by Paddy Moran”, one of hockey’s early greats and a member of the Hall of Fame. The lost art of “How to Play the Point” is offered here, along with “How to Play Cover Point” and “How to Play Rover”. Truly a piece of hockey history, this is an outstanding opportunity for collectors with an eye on the early days of the game.
