The game’s source of information for over 75 years, The Hockey News has been there to report on all that’s been fit to print about the goings-on in the NHL and every other significant hockey league found around the globe. Offered here, this massive collection of virtually complete volumes of 41 seasons of the hockey’s bible runs from the 1952-53 season through 1987-88 with the exception of volume 13 from 1959-60 which is not included. The complete and near-complete volumes are housed by season in individual large black binders featuring "The Hockey News" in gold lettering while volumes 6 through 18 are housed in book format with the covers once again displaying The Hockey News as well as the volume number and date of print run. Imagine all the reading at your fingertips: original accounts spanning the history of the Original Six, NHL Expansion, WHA, the Summit Series and the Canada Cup, and the Stanley Cup successes of the Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Black Hawks, Bruins, Canadiens, Flyers, Islanders, and Oilers, with what would end up being the last Stanley Cup of Wayne Gretzky’s career being the final volume included in the offered collection. Not to mention the career trajectory of stars such as Richard, Howe, Keon, Horton, Orr, Esposito, Dryden, Clarke, Parent, Lafleur, Trottier, Bossy, Gretzky, Messier, Coffey and Roy just to name a few. Overall in excellent condition with just light handling wear, some show some creased/folded pages and toning is seen throughout the pages from age. A treasure trove awaiting your collection.
