Lion in Winter is the gripping tale of the Great Britain ice hockey team's fluctuating fortunes, from being the first European Champions in 1910 through to the nadir 0f 1981, when a drop to the bottom of the world rankings resulted in a self-imposed exile from international competition. Detailing the pinnacle of international achievement with victory at the 1936 Winter Olympics, it chronicles a roller-coaster record from underdogs to bulldogs - and back again - several times. No other champion ice hockey nation has scaled the heights and plumbed the depths like the British. A definitive work of record, it is researched and written by two of the game's foremost historians and features the only complete GB Player register ever published, complemented by a wide variety of rare illustrations.
