Blue ice : the story of Michigan hockey

"More than just a chronological rehashing of Michigan's biggest games and stars, Blue Ice paints vivid portraits of Michigan's coaches, from Joseph Barss, who survived World War I, the ghastly Halifax Explosion and Michigan's demanding medical school, to Red Berenson, who struggled for years to return his alma mater to the top. It also takes a few delightful detours to describe some of the lesser-known players who made important contributions to the program, right up to the class of 2001. And it explores the players' unlikely backgrounds, from the Keweenaw Peninsula's Copper Country to Minnesota's Iron Range to Regina, Saskatchewan's rich vein of hockey talent."--BOOK JACKET
