Book Review: The Hall provides a look at the history of the Hockey Hall of Fame

When I first read through The Hall: Celebrating Hockey’s Heritage, Heroes, and Home by Kevin Shea and published by Montreal’s Griffintown Media, I was happy I had just been to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Because it allowed me to realize that the pictures in the glorious book was essentially a walking tour of what the Hall has to offer.

But the book is more than just stunning photos of hockey’s most famous museum. It also details the stories behind the creation of the museum from the initial idea, to the plans to put the museum in Kingston, Ontario until funding fell through.
