Hey guys,
I'm writing a paper for a Canadian History class I'm taking as the last credit of my history minor.
One of the topics is as follows: There is a lot of pressure on our hockey players to win due to the fact that the sport is intertwined with the national identity. There is no doubt that hockey is Canada's national game and its greatest contribution to world sport. When and why did the game of hockey become so intertwined with the national identity? What factors led to the professionalization of the sport? How has the culture of hockey evolved over the last 100 years?
I've got about 10 books and a journal article or two and I'm just starting to research. A lot of you guys seem to be big hockey historians so I figured this assignment gives me the unique opportunity to use HFBoards to lead me to sources. Anyone got some got suggestions for my research?
I'm not here to get you guys to do my homework for me, I just think I could gain some pretty valuable ideas and resources by hearing what you guys think about the question. Thanks in advance for any insight you guys have!
