Book Description
Abbott's book looks at the early days of amateur competition for the
Herder Memorial trophy. The year-by-year review of the competition
covers season and game highlights and reminds us at the same time of
the exploits of the athletes who participated in the provincial
championships. "This series will certainly help preserve our sports
heritage in this province. It has been long overdue". George Faulkner
"This book brings back some great memories for me and I'm sure hockey
fans will really enjoy it". Randy Pearcey
