Beskrivning

For Canadians, hockey is the game. Shared experiences and memories—lacing up for the first time, shinny on an outdoor rink, Sidney Crosby’s historic goal, or the one scored by Maurice Richard—make hockey more than just a game. While the relationship between hockey and national identity has been studied, where does the game fit into our understanding of multiple, diverse Canadian identities today? This interdisciplinary book considers hockey, both as professional and amateur sport, and both in historical and contemporary context, in relation to larger themes in Canadian Studies, including gender, race/ethnicity, ability, sexuality, geography, and reflects upon all aspects of hockey in Canadian life: play, fandom, sports broadcasting, and community activism. This interdisciplinary scholarly collection is an extension of the “Hockey in Canada: More Than Just a Game” exhibition presented by the Canadian Museum of History. Published in English. Includes one chapter in French.

Recensioner i media

The opening section offers three outstanding essays about hockey’s origin andhistory. (…)The seven “documents,” I thought,were a notable innovation. They consist of either experiential statements or brief historicalmaterials. (…) Two last features of the book are worth noting. One is that thetext is printed on glossy heavy-stock paper, which allows a sharp reproductionof many colour photographs, and adds a slightly coffee-table book-like feel—a nice touch for a volume thatbalances academic and popular concerns. The other is that a few of the textsare in French. This seems especiallyappropriate given the focus on diversity. (…)Hockey: Challenging Canada’s Game is an excellent interdisciplinaryresource for people interested in taking hockey seriously as a topic forresearch.
