“Where did you get the idea for your book?” It’s a question authors are asked all the time. Sometimes the conception is so vague and evolutionary that it is difficult to put into words, even for a writer.

The book’s spark came while I was working on a project for the Hockey Hall of Fame researching North American hockey.
