Hockey

Challenging Canada’s Game – Au-delà du sport national

«

The opening section offers three outstanding essays about hockey’s origin and history. (…)

The seven “documents,” I thought, were a notable innovation. They consist of either experiential statements or brief historical materials. (…) Two last features of the book are worth noting. One is that the text is printed on glossy heavy-stock paper, which allows a sharp reproduction of many colour photographs, and adds a slightly coffee-table book-like feel—a nice touch for a volume that balances academic and popular concerns. The other is that a few of the texts are in French. This seems especially appropriate given the focus on diversity. (…)

Hockey: Challenging Canada’s Game is an excellent interdisciplinary resource for people interested in taking hockey seriously as a topic for research.

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.



This book is published in English. Includes one chapter in French.

Le hockey est le sport des Canadiens Les experiences et les souvenirs que nous partageons - lacer ses patins pour la toute premiere fois, jouer une partie de hockey de rue, le but historique marque par Sidney Crosby, ou celui de Maurice Richard - font du hockey bien plus qu'un sport. Bien que le lien entre hockey et identite nationale ait ete etudie, il faut s'interroger sur la place qu'occupe ce sport dans notre comprehension des identites canadiennes diverses et multiples d'aujourd'hui. Cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire explore le hockey tant comme sport professionnel qu'amateur, depuis une approche tantot historique, tantot actuelle, en lien avec des problematiques en Etudes canadiennes, dont le genre, la race et l'ethnicite, la competence, la sexualite, la geographique, et lance une reflexion sur les divers aspects du hockey dans la vie des Canadiens : le jeu, les supporters, la radiodiffusion, l'activisme communautaire.



Cet ouvrage complete l'exposition de " Hockey : Plus qu'un simple jeu ", presentee par le Musee canadien de l'histoire.



Ce livre est publie en anglais. Comprend un chapitre en francais.

De manière générale, on ne peut que saluer la démarche de Jenny Ellison et Jennifer Anderson qui ont rassemblé un imposant contingent de spécialistes du hockey issus d’horizons disciplinaires aussi variés que les aspects abordés. Alors que le hockey professionnel est habituellement le centre d’intérêt de bien des chercheur.e.s universitaires et détient une part importante des publications scientifiques sur le sport au Canada, les recherches sur le hockey amateur ou récréatif ainsi que sur le hockey féminin rassemblées ici sont un apport significatif à la connaissance. (...) L’impression qu’on retire de la lecture de Hockey : Challenging Canada’s Game – Au-delà du sport national, c’est la volonté des codirectrices et des collaborateur.trice.s de décoloniser le savoir sur le hockey.
