Â Â Â Â Â "I hated every single guy on the Oilers, 'cause they all hated me." --Tim Hunter, the Calgary Flames
Â Â Â Â Â
In the 1980s, the province of Alberta was home to the two best hockey teams in the NHL. Aptly dubbed "Death Valley" due to the sheer talent and ability of its players, the province not only begat rivalry with other NHL teams, but also sparked fierce competition within its own borders. Thus began The Battle of Alberta, the historic struggle between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames.
Â Â Â Â InÂ The Battle of Alberta, veteran sports journalist Mark Spector presents homage to Albertan hockey, and the two teams that inspired one of the most bitter competitions in NHL history. Through exclusive interviews with coaches, trainers, and players, Spector provides an unbiased, often hilarious look at the brawls, the clashes, and the schemes.Â
Â Â Â Â A chronicle of an unforgettable time in hockey history (filled with never-before-seen photographs),Â The Battle of AlbertaÂ is guaranteed to entertain fans and educate newcomers alike.
