From the Foreword by legendary Sid Abel [Hockey Hall of Fame, 1969]: I have many fond memories of being associated with the Detroit Red Wings as player, coach, manager and Bruce Martyn's sidekick in the broadcast booth. I had the good fortune of being on 3 Stanley Cup teams and centering 'The Production Line' with Ted Lindsay [HHF 1966, sic] and Gordie Howe [HHF 1972, sic] . Pretty much everything you want to know about the Detroit Red Wings, from inception, through 1997; after this book was written they won 3 more Stanley Cups: 1997–98, 2001–02, 2007–08. I grew up hearing stories of my dad watching the Wings play at Olympia, in Detroit, during the glory years of the 1950s and later. Their new glory years have been housed the Joe Louis Arena, in Detroit. Oversized, 4#. ; B&W Illustrations; 8 1/2 x 11; xiii, 245 pages; Cover has light rubbing/scuffing, minor shelf wear, bumping.. Very Good+ .
