Reviews

Joining the Clubs is a highly recommended book for business and sports historians, graduate students, and those with an interest in the fascinating history of the inner workings of professional hockey from 1875 to 1945.-- "American Historical Review"

Joining the Clubs is rife with personality, just like the strong-willed, forward thinking individuals who made the NHL possible. Ross's writing is lively and engaging, and his book is a fascinating look at the NHL in its formative years.-- "Canada's History Magazine"
