Liam Maguire

Liam Maguire bills himself as the world’s number one NHL historian and trivia expert.

“There is nobody on the planet who knows more history, anecdotes, statistics and trivia on the NHL than Liam Maguire.” –Yvan Cournoyer, former captain of the Montreal Canadiens, ten time Stanley Cup winner, HOF.

Liam is a four time published author, with his most recent book, ‘The Real Ogie! The life and legend of Goldie Goldthorpe being released April 5, 2019.
