Offered here is the official 1997 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Fact Guide, a highly collectible vintage publication celebrating one of the most exciting postseasons in hockey history. Published by Triumph Books in 1997, this softcover guide features a bold image of the Stanley Cup front and center, flanked by legendary moments and players such as Mark Messier (New York Rangers, 1994), Peter Forsberg (Colorado Avalanche, 1996), Wayne Gretzky (Edmonton Oilers, 1987), and the 1966 Montreal Canadiens. The back cover continues this tribute with iconic imagery of Mario Lemieux (Pittsburgh Penguins, 1991), Mike Bossy (New York Islanders, 1982), the 1970 Boston Bruins, and the 1940 New York Rangers.
This comprehensive guide includes team and player statistics, historical playoff records, and league facts, serving as an essential reference for any serious NHL historian or memorabilia collector. The spine is intact and uncreased, with only minor surface wear, presenting in excellent condition for its age.
With a limited print run and original prices marked at $12.95 USD / $14.95 CAD, this guide has become increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such well-preserved condition. Ideal for display in a sports memorabilia collection or hockey-themed man cave, this piece captures the rich legacy of the NHL playoffs.
