Lion in Winter - Great Britain at the Olympic, World and European Championships 1910-1981.

A 652 page comprehensive volume that took seven years of research and writing, describing in detail the exploits and game-by-game action, with statistics, by the players who donned the GB strip over more than 70 years.

Also included is the first complete GB Player Register (1910-2019) to be published.

A definitive work of record compiled by David S Gordon and Martin C Harris who have previously authored four books and numerous articles on the heritage of the sport in the UK; both are long term members of the Canadian based Society for International Hockey Research.

Lion is printed on good quality paper and between the full colour card covers are hundreds of team, player and action photos, many rare and not previously seen for decades.

About the authors: Both David and Martin have spent many years delving into libraries and archives endeavoring to tease out and uncover lost facts and figures on the exploits of the British national team as very little of earlier decades can be found in print or online. We have contributed down the years articles on the GB team and ice hockey in Britain to the various journals published from time to time on the sport. We have both had two books published by what is now the History Press. David's on his home rink at Ayr and about Scottish born players -Scotch on Ice and Martin on the British Hall of Fame and Homes of British Ice Hockey which SIHR graced with the Brian McFarlane award in 2007.
