But even more important than the great stars is the teamwork that has always been a hallmark of The Canadiens. No other team has won the Stanley Cup as often or gathered as many of hockey’s other awards and honors as The Canadiens. … a lavishly illustrated book that tells the exciting and action-packed story of this great and famous hockey team.
