a decade remained before the Stanley Cup would become the sole property of the NHL. In this era, it was a challenge cup, and it seemed as though every Canadian town--big or small--had a fair shot at the big prize. In these pre-NHL days, four teams from the Maritimes took up the challenge, competing for what was, even then, hockey's biggest prize. The 1900 Halifax Crescents club was followed in 1906 by the New Glasgow Cubs, in 1912 by the Moncton Victorias, and in 1913 by the Sydney Millionaires. 2012.Histoires de sport: chroniques

cyclisme qui s'en tirent à bon compte en stigmatisant un passé révolu qui est pourtant le leur, avant d'évoquer fine énième nouvelle ère qui s'ouvre. Une question demeure pourtant : comment l'Américain destitué de ses sept Tours de France a-t-il pu passer à travers les mailles du filet pendant treize ans ?... L'ouvrage expose les complicités - actives et passives - de ceux qui ont laissé prospérer l'imposture, dont certains ont même tiré avantage. Et qui restent en place, comme si de rien n'était. Parallèlement, le Tour de France, qui célèbre en 2013 sa centième édition, a perdu en chemin plus qu'un palmarès. Sa crédibilité sportive est réduite à néant, ce qui n'empêche surtout pas le business de grossir. '' -- 4e de couv.Le sel de la vie
