The idea for Kevin Ticen’s book, When It Mattered Most, started when he planned a centennial celebration of America’s first Stanley Cup win. The trophy was given a VIP tour of the city. Here it is shown at Queen Anne’s Kerry Park, during the Space Needle’s renovation in 2017.
While Seattle sports history is powering Hollywood’s holiday lineup, another inspirational Seattle sports tale likewise received a new treatment. Queen Anne author Kevin Ticen has released the second edition of his book, “When It Mattered Most.” When It Mattered Most tells the triumphant story of the Seattle Metropolitans, America’s first Stanley cup champions, as they claimed hockey’s greatest prize amidst the uncertainty of the United States entering World War I. The new second edition features an updated hardback cover and six additional chapters taking the story through the war’s conclusion, the Spanish Flu pandemic, and culminating with the monumental 1919 Stanley Cup Final.
