The Hockey Museum’s magazines and archives contains a wealth of information on notable people from hockey’s past: the movers, shakers and innovators of our game since the mid-1800s. Through our research, we are shining a light on these remarkable individuals’ lives, drawing together the various strands of their hockey involvement and documenting their achievements.
