Overview

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.-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.

De maniere generale, on ne peut que saluer la demarche de Jenny Ellison et Jennifer Anderson qui ont rassemble un imposant contingent de specialistes du hockey issus d'horizons disciplinaires aussi varies que les aspects abordes. Alors que le hockey professionnel est habituellement le centre d'interet de bien des chercheur.e.s universitaires et detient une part importante des publications scientifiques sur le sport au Canada, les recherches sur le hockey amateur ou recreatif ainsi que sur le hockey feminin rassemblees ici sont un apport significatif a la connaissance. (...) L'impression qu'on retire de la lecture de Hockey : Challenging Canada's Game - Au-dela du sport national, c'est la volonte des codirectrices et des collaborateur.trice.s de decoloniser le savoir sur le hockey. -- Etienne Lapointe 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. -- Jamie Dopp * Rethinking Hockey *
