Hockey's rich history explored through some of its most fascinating
documents Every great career in hockey starts with a pen and a piece of
paper. In Blue Lines, Goal Lines & Bottom Lines, author Greg Oliver
takes a peek into historical documents of the stars, from Wayne
Gretzky's first contract to a scouting report on Mario Lemieux; from
Bobby Hull promoting a hair restoration product to Glenn Anderson
fighting for his playoff bonuses. And what's this about baseball Hall of
Famer Fergie Jenkins playing with the St. Louis Blues? The journeymen
tell their tales too, from Lou Nanne explaining why he signed his own
retirement papers to Pierre Pilot talking about Elmer "Moose" Vasko's
battle with his weight. Culled from the archives of Allan Stitt, one of
hockey's leading collectors, the book offers up page after page of
treats never before seen by hockey fans. The documents that breathe life
into Blue Lines, Goal Lines & Bottom Lines are complemented by a wide
variety of stunning and rare photos from the Hockey Hall of Fame
archives.
