Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Cyclone Taylor may or may not have been the greatest hockey player who
ever lived, but he was, by all accounts, the game's greatest showman, a
charming personality both on and off the ice. Frederick Wellington Taylor
was born in Tara, Ontario, in 1884 and grew up in nearby Listowel. He
learned to skate at an early age, and in his teens was already touted as
one of the fastest and trickiest players around. His career spanned the
entire history of the modern game of hockey-from its pioneering days to
its eventual emergence as a big-time money sport. In 1905 Taylor joined the
first professional hockey league in history as a member of the Portage Lake
team in Houghton, Michigan...A few years later Taylor was paid $5,250 for
one 12-game season with the Renfrew Creamery Kings, later known as the
Millionaires - at that time, the highest per-game salary ever received by a
team athlete."
The "Cyclone Taylor: A Hockey Legend" 1st edition book is in excellent
condition.
