RANGERS WIN FIRST VICTORIA CUP

The New York Rangers defeated Metallurg Magnitogorsk, 4-3, in the first Victoria Cup game, on October 1, 2008 in Bern, Switzerland.

This game was the final event of the IIHF's 100th anniversary which is documented in a new book written by Andrew Podnieks and Szymon Szemberg. Click here to see the book.

THE UNBEATABLE MARTIN BRODEUR

The next installment of the young adult series of Canadian biographies features goalie Martin Brodeur. This year he is likely to achieve the three greatest records in NHL history: most games played, most wins, and most shutouts. This book is made special by the fact that Martin's father, Denis, took all of the photographs, from the time Martin first put on skates at age three right up to this past season. Martin is also launching his own website and will be selling signed copies of the book on www.MartinBrodeur30.com . Click here to see the book.
