sorry, I realize now that screenshot is the shits. can't see a thing. I know when you take a multi-screen capture and send by messenger it compresses it beyond recognition, but I didn't realize this site does the same.

I'll recapture and send again.

The database is managed by about a dozen users and I can see a lot of books on the list that don't necessarily meet my threshold for tagging them with the business/economics tag, But many on the list are exactly what you're looking for.

Slim and None by Howard Baldwin is an absolutely "must read" for history buffs. Excellent hockey book that really shows how crazy the 1970s were and also the 1980s. Features the Flyers, WHA, Penguins and Sharks.

The Rebel League: The Short and Unruly Life of the World Hockey Association by Ed Willes is about the WHA. VERY entertaining, especially when we go from owners with no money at the beginning to car dealership guys and speculators at the end hoping to survive long enough to sue their way into the NHL.

The NHL: 100 Years of On-Ice Action and Boardroom Battles by D'Arcy Jenish was also an outstanding summary of the NHL's first hundred years. Lots of financial stuff, especially during the Depression and World War II, and again during the 1970s.

The Devil and Bobby Hull: How Hockey's Original Million-Dollar Man Became the Game's Lost Legend by Gare Joyce is a wonderful biography of the Golden Jet, one of the most important and influential players in the history of the game.
