Toronto Star sportswriter Cox has covered the Toronto Maple Leafs for 30 years, including arguably one of the most memorable playoff series in hockey's history, the 1993 Western Conference finals between the Maple Leafs and the Los Angeles Kings. Here, the author details the drama and personalities of the seven-game series. Chapters cover a single game through the lens of one of the athletes, owners, or referees--Wayne Gretzky, Marty McSorley, Doug Gilmour, Bruce McNall, Bill Berg, Kelly Hrudy, and Kerry Fraser--who played a pivotal role in the outcome of the series, including what happened to them afterward. But more than an account of the games, Cox uses the series as a foil to consider how professional hockey has changed, and how the 1993 season and this playoff series in particular, marked a turning point for the National Hockey League, transitioning from being defined by its personalities to being shaped by the business. VERDICT Hockey fans will enjoy this look back at hockey history, especially the personal stories.--Michael C. Miller, Austin P.L. & Austin History Ctr., TX
