Multi-purpose resources

A to Z Encyclopaedia of Ice Hockey [http://www.azhockey.com ] The immense, monumental on-line project from Phil Stamp,
British hockey fan extraordinaire. His goal: nothing less than
a detailed listing for every player, coach, team, rink, Zamboni
driver, play-by-play man, publication, website and whatnot,
ever involved with hockey, anywhere, ever. Cross-referenced,
yet. A staggering achievement.

Center Ice Hockey NHL news, schedules, links, polls, fan talk, fantasy and
beer league hockey, and equipment tips and coaching insights from webmaster Kevin Demase.

Hockey.ontheweb [webhome.idirect.com/~aalvaro/ ]

 Lots to play with at this busy, Java-crazed site: news, sports tickers, pics, 
audio, animations, original commentary, message boards, chat rooms,
links aplenty and more.

news, links, free agents, rookies, cookies and pop-ups -- all the latest buzz.

Hockey Zone [www.hockeyzoneplus.com ]


HockeyZonePlus "Informative, useful and amusing" is an understatement. Francois Coulombe's bilingual site is packed with news from on and off the ice -- including detailed team fiscal reports -- lively quotes, loads of links, and a massive on-line gift shop. Read all you need, then shop 'til you drop! Above & Beyond Hockey also has a second home here -- check out more of our own commentary at HockeyZonePlus!

A small but complex and vital organ within the body of Dr Hiruki's
fascinating homepages -- fan activism infuses a labful of links to
hockey editorials and media, the Oilers, Jets & Nords, arena sites,
other sports, and the amazing world of the good doctor himself.

Spector's Hockey Page [www.spectorshockey.net ]

"Trade rumours, opinionated views, hockey links, predictions,
All Star teams & much more!" Updated daily, Lyle Richardson's site
is one of the liveliest, savviest fan pages on the the net.

The Rink Rat [www.geocities.com/rinkrathockey/ ]The Rink Rat
"A somewhat warped view of the NHL -- Old Time Hockey, Leather
Helmets, Wooden Pucks and Fuzzy Dice." Any site that can ridicule
Mike Keenan, Paul Coffey, and Barry Melrose on the same page
scores a hat trick by our count.

Silent Edge   "Information, advocacy issues, and links of interest 
concerning abuse and exploitation in youth sports." NEW
Trolleytracks Hockey [trolleytracks.com/ ]
 In the spirit of LCS and The Blue Line, news & views, "served with 
a genuine love of the game and a healthy skepticism of the whores
running the NHL." Incisive, wickedly funny writing and graphics,
in both a weekly and a daily edition. Keep your head up!
The Truth about Hockey [www.truehockey.com ] "Facts, thoughts and information about true hockey... 
Canada's game, not some circus that Gary Bettman
is turning our game into -- insightful backgrounds
and comparisons between 'Old Time Hockey' and
the game that's played today." And lotsa fights.
The Death of Hockey [ members.aol.com/SportNet6/NSinside.htm ]


The critically acclaimed 1998 blockbuster that ripped the NHL a new one,
stood up for the fans, for Canada, and for the integrity of the game, and
was the catalyst for this website. Just a reminder to place your order
before you leave here -- if you dig a bit, it may still be available at
Chapters and Indigo (remember, Yanks, those prices are in tiny
Canadian dollars!), or get your autographed edition direct from
The Klein & Reif Hockey Bookshelf.

History & statistics

The Hockey Abstract    Budd Bailey's archive of entertaining and often revealing statistical 
trivia, and the gateway to his Sports Book Review Center.
The Hockey Almanac  History, yearly standings, and champions of every notable 
pro league ever to operate in North America and Europe -- an invaluable on-line resource.
James' Hockey History Articles  Goes where the Compendium declined to tread, 
with enlightening microdissections of some rarely examined hockey stat categories. NEW
LostHockey.com  In-depth info, obits, and oddments on NHLers of the '20 and '30s.    NEW
SIHR [www.sihrhockey.com/ ]
 The Society for International Hockey Research -- "where writers, 
statisticians, collectors, broadcasters, academics and just plain
hockey buffs explore the game's origins and development, and share
fascinating facts and figures."
The All-New Hockey Compendium [members.aol.com/SportNet6/NScomp01.htm ]

It's baa-aack -- a totally new edition of the landmark volume that
revolutionised hockey stats and brought gonzo journalism to the game.
The entire history of major-league pro hockey, including complete
never-before-seen shot-and-save figures for the last 50 years,
illuminated and analysed by the guys who brought you the original
1986 Compendium and The Death of Hockey, and accompanied
by the same trademark wit, style, and commentary.
"The only hockey book you'll ever read."

Above and Beyond Hockey
       Interested in linking to our site?  Cool.  Here's the arrangement. 
In order to get your own site on board here, you need meet only these qualifications:
> your site should be fan-generated (official, corporate, professional team or league sites will
not be considered -- right, like we'll be getting a lot of requests from NHL front offices);
> your site should have some semblance of awareness and attitude (enthusiasm is, er, nice, but
as you might guess, we're not real keen on sites about how happy someone is over the NHL's
plans to expand to San Antonio, or why they think Roman Vopat is the best player ever);
> and mainly, your site must first link back to us.
A basic, no-frills link to us automatically gets you on board with a modest one-liner. Feature
a pic of the cover of either of the books here and/or a few enthusiastic sentences about them,
though, and you'll also get a lovely graphic link and an equally fervent blurb about your site, just
like many of the sites above. (Sorry, no banners. C'mon, look at the format. Think squarish.)
Just e-mail us using the link at the very bottom of this page. We'll visit your site promptly, and
any site that makes the grade will get listed at our next site update.
