Table of ContentsReviewsBeautifully illustrated with a carefully curated selection of paintings, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings, Shubert weaves a fascinating narrative in which architectural history, cultural landscape studies, the history of sport, and political, social, and cultural histories coalesce.

A compelling read for multiple audiences, whether scholars of the built environment, historians, or sports enthusiasts feeling nostalgic for the Golden Age of hockey.
