Hockey historian hosts book launch next week

He bore the wrath of a frustrated Alan Eagleson who threatened to pull the Canadian players from Game 8 when Kompalla drew the refereeing assignment for the decisive match and then threw chairs on the ice after Parise was penalized.

He was chased down hallways by players and team officials incensed by some of the calls he’d made.

Even after the series was decided, Kompalla was harassed by Canadian players on a flight to Prague for an exhibition game against the Czech national team.

A quiet retirement

When Bolz heard Kompalla was still alive and living a quiet life of retirement in Krefeld, Germany, he reached out, determined to reconcile the conflicting images of a pivotal character in hockey’s greatest drama who seemed to have been left behind by its history.

“I’m a historian,” Bolz said. “My job is to docu- ment voices, and this was a voice ”

Over the course of three years of phone interviews and personal visits, Bolz constructed a picture of a modest man who still loves hockey but can’t understand how he’d become one of the sport’s most notorious characters

“It was always baffling to him,” Bolz said

Along the way, Bolz ran into roadblock after roadblock in his efforts to gain an understanding of how Kompalla had become so despised

Players still alive like Red Berenson andWayne Cashman wouldn’t talk to him

Even Ken Dryden, the Hall of Fame goaltender renowned for his thoughtful ruminations about the sport and the author of two memoirs about the series, wouldn’t return his calls

“A narrative had been crafted,” Bolz said “Legend continues to trump the way things actually were ”

Bolz believes Kompalla was collateral dam- age, a convenient foil, in a hockey drama that was supposed to be a friendly cultural exchange in the spirit of detente that had started to warm the Cold War in the early 1970s, but quickly devolved into an athletic expression of the great divide that still existed between East and West when the Canadian NHLers realized their opponents wouldn’t be the pushovers as some observers had billed them. time is running out Kompalla is now 87, and Bolz is all too aware time is running out to set the record straight and reform the referee’s legacy

He hopes his book, academically annotated and cross-referenced through multiple sources, will help facilitate that Some who’ve helped shape the story of the Summit Series over the past 51 years have taken notice and made overtures to correct the historical record, like the popular misconception that Kompalla was from East Germany when in fact he’d fled communist rule in Poland and settled in Germany’s democraticWest

As for the aging referee who continues to travel the German countryside to attend hockey games as a spectator, Bolz said he still holds out hope his contribution to the series will be recognized in a more positive light

“He’s always wondered why he’s never been invited to any of the series’ anniversaries,” Bolz said of Kompalla “It’s important to see him get some sort of closure ”
