THE ORIGINAL SIX

The Original Six is subtitled How the Canadiens, Bruins, Rangers, Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, and Red Wings Laid the Groundwork for Today’s NHL. Such a subtitle hints at the possibility of new ground within its pages, but instead the reader is mostly taken through a cavalcade of NHL profiles from the days when guys named “Dit” played. Plenty of historical facts on each of the original NHL franchises, as well. Easy reading and fun for anyone craving a reminder the Leafs were actually good once.
