Rivalries stem from various sources. Simple geographic proximity as well as frequent meetings in important games can lead to rivalries. Social and political tensions can also be played out by proxy in a sports rivalry, as when the Indo-Pakistani political conflict spills over to an India-Pakistan cricket match, or when Glasgow's sectarian differences are expressed in the Celtic-Rangers derby. Rivalries of the friendlier sort are common between college athletic programs in the United States and often involve pranks that rival student bodies play on each other, such as stealing the other school's mascot or painting school colors somewhere on the opposing school's campus. The book takes a look at the greatest rivalries in Ice Hockey, including the Original Six Rivalries: Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadians, New York Rangers, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
