Mike Moore

Born and raised in Montreal, Mike has lived in the Greater Toronto Area for the past 24 years. He grew up on skates and has been a close follower of the game of hockey, especially the NHL, all of his life. An extensive library of new and vintage hockey books, magazines and other publications is a testament to Mike's love for hockey history, both the on-ice game and the business.

Habs Fans vs Leafs Fans

Habs Fans vs Leafs Fans

December 10th, 2017 First of all, relax. This is neither a Leafs nor Habs bashing rant. Having lived in both Montreal and Toronto as a huge hockey fan for more than 20 years each, I have first hand experience in the cheering characteristics of the local teams’ fans. Oh boy, what a difference!   Primarily, but not entirely, the comportment...
How Mr. Hockey Became Number 1

How Mr. Hockey Became Number 1

February 26th, 2011 One of the nice things about hockey history is it gives everybody several years to ponder some of the most difficult and often-asked questions of all-time. The general consensus today is Gordie Howe was the greatest right-winger ever to play the game. You’ll get way fewer arguments now than you would have 50 years...

Shutout: Leafs On Pace For All-time Futility Record

The 2010-11 Toronto Maple Leafs are on pace to set an NHL record which would undoubtedly rank them among the worst teams in NHL history. After 25 games, the Leafs have been blanked a whopping six times so far. At this rate and over the course of a full 82-game schedule, the projection is 20 shutouts. That would tie them for the...
Pit Martin - A Daughter's Loving Tribute

Pit Martin - A Daughter's Loving Tribute

November 24th, 2010 On April 5, 1970, the Chicago Blackhawks and Montreal Canadiens engaged in one of the weirdest games ever in NHL history. There has never been another game like it, nor is there likely ever going to be a repeat. It actually forced the NHL to change the rulebook. It was the last game of the 1969-70 schedule. The New York Rangers had won...
The Worst Maple Leafs Team Ever?

The Worst Maple Leafs Team Ever?

November 14th, 2010   When Vancouver Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis scored into an empty net to seal a 5-3 victory over the hapless Toronto Maple Leafs last night, Leaf winger Kris Versteeg chased the sliding puck in vain and smashed his stick over the crossbar as it entered his own net. Who says the Leafs can’t hit the net? Ha ha. The Leafs have...

October 18 to December 2, 1959

November 7th, 2010 When things are going well, positive momentum helps create the right mood for more good things to happen. Everything seems to fall into place at once. All of the stars are aligned.  One might be advised to grasp and make the most of these fleeting moments in life, if you like the thought of making an impactful difference while...

Summary: All Time Team Stats

I just picked up my copy of the 2011 National Hockey League - Official Guide and Record Book. I buy it every year as soon as it comes out. Last year’s copy goes on the shelf and this latest version will stay close and within easy reach over the next year. It is hockey’s bible and the most reliable source of accurate historical...
Top Ten Stanley Cup Winners - Equalized

Top Ten Stanley Cup Winners - Equalized

August 1st, 2010 I’m sorry if your grandfather has you convinced that it was tougher to win the Stanley Cup in the “Old Days” than it is today. That may be true if you played for the New York Rangers. They only won a single playoff series during the entire 25-year, Original Six era from 1943 to 1967. He may tell you that a player had to...
