| book description |

The Hartford Whalers were a beloved hockey team from their founding in 1972 as the New England Whalers. Playing in the National Hockey Leagueâ€™s smallest market and arena after the World Hockey Association merger in 1979, they struggled in a division that included both the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens-but their fans were among the NHLâ€™s most loyal. In 1995 new owners demanded a new arena and, when it fell through, moved the team to North Carolina, rebranding as the Hurricanes. Unlike fellow franchises that have folded or relocated with little fanfare, the Whalersâ€™ fan base stayed with the team, which remains as popular as ever. Even though more than two decades have come and gone since Connecticutâ€™s only professional sports team moved, nobody has forgotten the Whalers, their history, and their unique-and still highly profitable-logo. And while the NHL continues to thrive without them, their impact stretches far beyond the ice and into an entirely different cultural arena. Part sports history and part civic history, Bleeding Green shows vividly why the Whalers remain firmly embedded in the American milieu and have had a lasting impact on not only the NHL but the sports landscape as a whole.
