Description:
"Deceptions and Doublecross begins with the 1917 conspiracy among a Montreal contingent of the National Hockey Association to oust Toronto owner Edward James Livingstone from the league. The result was the transformation of the NHA into the NHL, with Frank Calder as president, leaving Livingstone out in the cold." "Under Calder's iron-fisted direction, the NHL became the only major hockey league in North America and gained exclusive claim to the Stanley Cup."--Jacket.
