Andrew Podnieks is a Canadian author and ice hockey historian.
Podnieks books can be divided into six distinct categories: pictorial, historical, statistical, biographical, trivia-based, and commercial.
The first was co-authored with Rob Hynes, the second and third with Jeff Davis and the last with Anthony Jenkins.
Podnieks has been the author of many official coffee-table books produced by the Hockey Hall of Fame, starting with Portraits of the Game and continuing with Shooting Stars, Lord Stanley's Cup, Canadian Gold 2002, Honoured Members, Silverware, Celebrating the Game, and World of Hockey: Celebrating a Century of the IIHF.
