Hockey Handbook: Canada's Royal Winter Game
1899 Edition
Less of an overall discussion of hockey but more of hand-book, with approximately a third of the book devoted to the "Science of Hockey", which describes general strategy of the game, and features in-depth commentary on the position by the star players of the day. The book gives a brief history of the sport, describes the benefits of playing it, and gives advice to players in a context independent to strategy and practices pertaining to the team as a whole. The last chapter gives three sets of rules for ice hockey; it uses CAHL rules for Quebec, Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) rules for Ontario, and Amateur Hockey League of New York rules for the US. Within the chapters of the book are placed photographs and short articles on the leading teams of the era. Presently, only four physical copies are known to exist.
