National Bestseller

Founded in 1909, the Canadiens won their first Stanley Cup in 1916. Since then, they have won 23 more, making them the world’s most successful hockey team. The Montreal Canadiens: 100 Years of Glory weaves the personalities, triumphs, hope, heartache, and hysteria into a compelling narrative, definitively answers old questions, and includes new material that goes behind the scenes of the tumultuous ’09 season. The Canadiens’ 100th year, which ended with a devastating four-game sweep by their oldest rival, the Boston Bruins, had its highs but many setbacks, too, such as the firing of coach Guy Carbonneau, news reports linking three team members with organized crime, and rumours that the team was for sale.

Colourful and controversial, The Montreal Canadiens is enriched with interviews and post-season reflections from some key participants and observers. It is the history of a team that has been making news for to do so.
