Description

The competition for the senior hockey championship and the Herder Memorial Trophy in Newfoundland and Labrador began in 1935. This book looks at the early days of amateur competition for the coveted trophy, through its glory days of paid players and its eventual retu to the grass roots level in the 1990s. It includes a listing of winning teams-and players-for each year.
