Sports Illustrated Scores With 'The Hockey Book'

Filed under: NHL Fans, FanHouse Exclusive

The concept of a coffee table-style book about hockey is not original, but when you throw in scores of historical pictures from Sports Illustrated, some top-notch stories about the sport's history, and a few fun nuggets, you have something special.

SI's latest pictorial book about sports is "The Hockey Book," edited by SI senior editor Kostya Kennedy with help from designer Steven Hoffman. Senior writer Michael Farber wrote the introduction for the book.

This is not the magazine's first rodeo with pictorial books.

"SI has done this for various sports," Farber told FanHouse. "There's pro football, college football, basketball, baseball. It was natural at some point the magazine would do this. Just a question of when. I guess the timing was right."

There are pictures in the book everyone would know, like Bobby Orr's famous Cup-winning goal, Team USA's Miracle on Ice, and Sidney Crosby's overtime goal-medal goal, among others.
