- Summary:
- Philadelphia has been a hockey town since 1897. Before and even during the Philadelphia Flyers' tenure, other teams-the Ramblers, the Quakers and the Firebirds, among others-called the city home, for better or for worse. The first of its kind, this comprehensive history covers the teams and players that graced the ice from the turn of the 20th century through the 2009 demise of the Philadelphia Phantoms. Offering something for every Philly hockey fan, the author tells the stories of the 10 pro teams that played the world's fastest game in the City of Brotherly Love.
