Overview
The first European Championship in ice hockey took place more than 100 years ago. Since that first competition in 1910, a total of 66 championships have been contested, although many were part of the World Championships or the Olympics; the last independent European Championship occurred back in 1932. The history of the women’s European Championship is much shorter. The first women’s European Championship took place in 1989, but after only 5 championships the tournament was discontinued. The last competition took place in 1996. In European Ice Hockey Championship Results: Since 1910, Tomasz Malolepszy charts this popular sport in Europe with a complete statistical history of both the men’s and women’s competition. For the first time ever, hockey fans can find detailed results, rosters, medalists, and standings for the European Championships all in a single volume. In addition, this book contains a list of interesting records, many of which have never before been published. European Ice Hockey Championship Results is a valuable resource for any hockey fan, journalist, or researcher. Companion volumes to this book include European Soccer Championship Results: Since 1958, European Basketball Championship Results: Since 1935, and European Volleyball Championship Results: Since 1948.

Reviews
This book charts the growth and history of ice hockey in Europe. It is largely a statistical recap of men's and women's competitions dating from the first competition of the sport in Europe in 1910 through 2012. Since then a total of 66 championships have been competed, most of which were world championships or the Olympics. The work also chronicles the history of women's European championships, which, unfortunately, only included five championship games from 1989-1996 before being discontinued. The work begins with a two-page introduction to the history of the sport...The bulk of the volume consists of statistics on game results, team rosters, medalists, and standings for European championship games. The work also includes a list of unique records, some of which have never been published. American Reference Books Annual
