Quebec Bulldogs Book Now Available (French Only)


Back in 2010 we noted that a history of the NHA's Quebec Bulldogs was in the works. Here's what we noted back then:

From the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph:

When it comes to hockey history books, the Quebec Bulldogs are largely ignored.


Author Marc Durand is hoping to change all that. He is currently working on a book about the team that he expects to be issued in time to honour the 100th anniversary of the Bulldogs' 1911-12 Stanley Cup.

Full Story

Two years later, the book is a reality.Here's the cover shot:


La Coupe A Quebec is only available in French for the first edition, though author Marc Durand assures me he is pushing for a 2nd edition translated into English. There are about 150 photos throughout the book, which will intrigue us anglophones.

My last name suggests I should be able to read this book but unfortunately I know very little French. It is a shame as I'd love to learn more about one of Canada's great forgotten teams and the generation of hockey that proceeded the National Hockey League.

I have gotten to know Marc by following his intelligent posts on the Society For International Hockey Research email forum. I have full confidence that Marc is the perfect person for this project, combining not only expertise and ability but most importantly passion for the topic on hand. The audience may be somewhat limited, but this book guarantees to be of the highest authority.

You can order the book by visiting the author's website, QuebecBulldogs.com

Interview With The Author: Kirstie McLellan Day

A couple of weeks ago I named Theo Fleury's book Playing With Fire as the Hockey Book Reviews.com 2009 Book Of The Year . It was a pretty easy choice this year, due to Theo's tragic story, the book's impact and bestselling status. But I was also full of praise for the book's authorship. It is Theo's story, but Kirstie McLellan Day is the book's unsung hero. She understood her subject probably more than she wanted to. By doing so, she kept the emotion and the anger in the text brilliantly. I recently had the chance to chat with Kirstie McLellan Day, seen below with Theo Fleury at a recent book signing. Here's the interview: From one author to another, what is it like to wake up in the morning, look at the bestselling books list in a variety of newspapers/media sources and see your book at the very top?! As you know Joe when you are a storyteller, your main goal is to have people listen to your stories. So it is really gratifying to hear that someone is tou...
