Now that we have studied the history surrounding the issue of Quebec's unique place within Canada, we will explore the pros and cons of recognizing Quebec as a

During the 1955-56 Cape Breton Junior Hockey League (CBJHL) season, fans who can remember remark that the Glace Bay Junior Miners went from the “outhouse to the penthouse.” In the process, the team was fittingly dubbed the “Cinderella” Miners.

Or praise the dedication of each teams “Beer Guy” who each week without fail provides the best of the best beers to be found. But more so explain that although they may be slower and skate with more injuries, old-timer hockey is just as respectable as playing junior. For them, hockey is not just a sport it’s a commitment, it’s a lifestyle and a dream in which many continue to pursue even once their prime years have come to an end. Midnight Hockey aims to contribute to the cultural and emotional understanding the Canadian addiction that is

As population continually increases in the Southern states, the NHL is moving teams into large Southern cities. In an effort to increase profits and popularity, the NHL has increased the number of teams in the league and moved into Southern cities that have never had hockey teams before. The problem is that hockey is not as popular in the South as it is in the North. This expansion in the South has lead to huge monetary losses to Southern teams and very low attendance numbers. The NHL should not have expanded the league into Southern cities and should keep NHL teams farther North.

Not long ago, thinking of the generations of Canadians who learned hockey on rivers and ponds, I collected my skates and with two friends drove up the Gatineau River north of Ottawa. We didn't know it at the time, but the ice conditions we found were rare, duplicated only a few times the previous decade. The combination of a sudden thaw and freezing rain in the days before had melted winter-high snow, and with temperatures dropping rapidly overnight, the river was left with miles of smooth glare ice. Growing up in the suburbs of a large city, I had played on a river only once before, and then as a goalie. On this day, I came to the Gatineau to find what a river of ice and a solitary feeling might mean to a game.

Sometimes it is easy to forget the game played on frozen ponds and backyard rinks, and get lost in the overwhelming professional sport known as hockey. However, we strive to remember that hockey became Canada's game because it made our never-ending winter months more bearable . The game gradually became a sport, then an entertainment industry. It seems like the lockout was one of the biggest news stories of the year. Part of the amazing nature of the game is that it's origins are fairly vague. However, we always remember that hockey is our game. It may not be our official sport, like lacrosse is, but hockey is what Canada seems to be most well-known for, and it continues to have immense influence on our free society, with its unique style

The Montreal Canadiens are currently the sole French Canadian team in the National Hockey League, nicknamed the Habs in reference to les habitants, the settlers of New France in the 1600s. Because the team appeals largely to French-Canadian fans, the Canadiens are significant to French-Canadian and Quebecois identities, and Maurice Richard played a critical role to French Canadians in the province:

Moreover, the country's youngest hockey players (known as Timbits) are sponsored by Tim Hortons (Bell). Being tied to the most popular sport has helped Tims grow in immense popularity that Canada has never seen

The French speaking people of Quebec lived under heavy oppression in the 1950s and 60s. Many francophone people looking for work in Quebec cities were refused because of their French background. In areas such as Montreal, the francophone people were earning up to 50 percent less than their English speaking peers. There was a clear distinction between the quality of life for the English and the quality of life for the French. It was because of this distinction that the people of Quebec often resented the English and their ways of life. And it is from this resentment, the story The Hockey Sweater was written. The Hockey Sweater is a story told from the perspective of a young boy living in a small town in Quebec. He,

One tradition is making ice sculptures. Also Quebec is home to the largest ice festival! If you want to have customs and traditions then come to Quebec. Values and beliefs Values and beliefs are everywhere but in Quebec there are some different ones. The first one is that in Quebec everyone should respect and tolerance in a climate of harmony.

In 1994, the Canadian Federal government compromised and voted to make hockey Canada’s National Winter Sport and lacrosse Canada’s National Summer Sport. Which Sport should be named Canada’s true national sport? Hockey is in the blood of all Canadians. Millions can vividly remember the first time they put on a pair of skates and stepped onto the ice. Providing nation-wide entertainment, Canadians are overcome by emotional realization that “Canada is hockey.”- Mike Weir. Generations of Canadians were brought up listening to Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday evening on the radio. It is more than just a sport in Canada, it defines the culture. Look no further than the five-dollar bill. One will observe a group of children playing a game

Dome Productions is not affected by economic crises, as sporting events are prominent within today’s culture. The main challenges faced include sporting event strikes or lockouts, such as the NHL lockout that took place in 2012-2013. In light of these situations, sporting events do not take place. Therefore, Dome has to find other events to film, to ensure the trucks and employees of Dome continue to be utilized. For example, in order to replace NHL coverage in 2012-2013, they filmed the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in order to continuously provide live events.

Why is it that when I picture Canada I am able to see snow falling, the night setting, with teenagers, children, and adults walking towards a rink with their the laces of their skates tied together and thrown over their shoulders, all getting ready to play the great Canadian game. What is it that makes hockey so profoundly important to Canadian identity, and a representative of our country? To start off, all across the country, on frozen backyard ponds, community rinks and state-of-the-art arenas Canadians are playing hockey which is Canada’s national sport. I believe that hockey is a representation of Canada because, the maple leaf, a familiar Canadian emblem, is found on Canadian hockey jerseys, and major chains selling our favourite food, donuts, were started by hockey greats Tim Horton and Eddie Shack.

The sport of curling is steeped in tradition yet on that note it is still changing. Not surprisingly, Canada has had a great year winning both the men's world championship and the women's world championship. Canada has always been a force to reckon with and this year was no exception. They have been very strong all year long with a couple of world class teams in Glen Howard and Kevin Martin.

Hockey is a grind, even for young players. It is a long season, spanning from August to March. Practices can be early in the morning, before school or late in the evening. Tournaments were on all of the major holidays, so traveling over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year was the norm. This is
