More than twenty years after departing Hartford, Connecticut, for Raleigh, North Carolina, the NHL's Whalers continue to inspire passion among fans. Pat Pickens' book details the Whalers' origin in Boston in 1972, the team's WHA championship in 1973, their stunning NHL playoff-series win against the top-seeded Quebec Nordiques in 1986, and their relocation south in 1997 as the Carolina Hurricanes.
