Description

Three volumes of Hockey Trivia for Kids are now in one “rock ’em, sock ’em” bind-up! Become a hockey trivia superstar with The Ultimate Book of Hockey Trivia for Kids.

Did you know that the Sutter family out of Alberta boasts SIX hockey stars? Or that “Hockey Night in Canada’s” three stars of the game was a tradition started by an oil company?

Go beyond player stats and team records and find out about the cool details only die-hard hockey fans know. It’s Crazy Canadian Trivia meets Hockey Superstars with a full third of the book devoted to our beloved Stanley Cup, and lots of photos and illustrations throughout.
