Book excerpt: "Having done extensive research in the NHL archives - reviewing league meeting minutes, letters, memos, telegrams, gate receipt reports, and other documents - John Chi-Kit Wong traces the commercial roots of hockey and argues that, in its organized form, the sport was rarely if ever without a commercial side despite labels such as amateur and professional. Lords of the Rinks is the only truly comprehensive and scholarly history of the league and the business of hockey."--BOOK JACKET.
