Do you believe that professional athletes are successful because of natural talent that is based more on their genes, or is that talent developed by parents and their upbringing? Salute to the Sutters The Sutters are hockey in Alberta. No other family has had six NHL playing brothers. They all played the game the same way: hard‐nosed, forechecking, muckers and grinders1. Collectively the Sutter brothers have put in more than five thousand games and captured six Stanley Cups. And that success started with the down home work ethic of the family dairy farm. The roots of this family tree are firmly planted in Viking, Alta., the town of a thousand people an hour and a half southeast of Edmonton. We spent some time with the matriarch of the Sutter Clan, Grace, on the family farm near Viking. She spoke of the secret to the Sutter success — hard work. Food for thought In your home country, is there a family of athletes similar to the Sutter family? http://www.cbc.ca/edmonton/features/sutters/ 1 grinders = a player who is successful because of hard work rather than exceptional skill or talent © CBC 2012 Permission is granted reproduction of these pages for educational purposes only. 3 For more information on copyright please see http://www.cbc.ca/permissions/ The Audio In this audio, you will hear CBC journalist Adrienne Lamb visiting rural town of Viking, Alberta and speaking to the mother of a large family of famous brothers. CBC file photo Before you listen: Have you ever been to a hockey game in Alberta? Have you watched the game on TV? SPEAKER TITLE: THE SUTTER FAMILY OF ALBERTA Rick Harp The Sutters are hockey in Alberta. The Viking Alberta family spawned 6 NHL players, not to mention coaches, scouts, and general managers. And the woman who raised them all, family matriarch Grace Sutter, she shares her secrets for creating a hockey dynasty with the CBC’s Adrianne Lamb. Adrienne Grace Sutter pulls down on a heavy, steel chain. It opens the door to a big red Lamb barn. She wants to show me her riding lawn mower. © CBC 2012 Permission is granted reproduction of these pages for educational purposes only. 4 For more information on copyright please see http://www.cbc.ca/permissions/ Vocabulary The words below are from the audio.

Taking notes from a lecture or while listening can help you to identify and remember the main points and ideas. It is impossible to write down everything you hear – you can only record the main ideas. Sometimes when you review your notes you might find they are just a jumble of words and points. Using abbreviations can help you to speed up the rate of note taking that you can achieve. It is important to develop a systematic approach to abbreviations so that you are able to understand the notes a few weeks or months after the day of the lecture. Here are some suggestions from this story: Word Possible abbreviation Grace Sutter/ Sutter family GS/SF Alberta AB Hockey H Family FAM Viking V Children CHLDN grandchildren GCHLDN © CBC 2012 Permission is granted reproduction of these pages for educational purposes only. 8 For more information on copyright please see http://www.cbc.ca/permissions/ Standard abbreviations for common words word Possible abbreviation with w/ because . therefore . is = and & more + less ‐ decrease increase number # money $$ Practice writing abbreviations using these sentences from the audio – rewrite them in an abbreviated form. (Answers can be found in the appendix). 1. The Viking Alberta family spawned 6 NHL players. __________________________________________________________ ___________ 2. And those years, you kept them busy, because as long as they were busy then they weren’t getting into trouble. __________________________________________________________ ___________ 3. I thought that when you were done raising your children you didn’t worry anymore, but now there’s grandchildren and there’s great grandchildren. __________________________________________________________ ___________ © CBC 2012 Permission is granted reproduction of these pages for educational purposes only. 9 For more information on copyright please see http://www.cbc.ca/permissions/ Now listen to the audio again.

    Running head: FAN IDENTIFICATION IN RED DEER, ALBERTA A Study of NHL Fan Identification in Red Deer, Alberta Blair Cipywnyk, BA Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Sport Management) Under the supervision of Dr. Craig Hyatt Faculty of Applied Health Sciences Brock University St. Catharines, ON Blair T. Cipywnyk © September 2019 FAN IDENTIFICATION IN RED DEER, ALBERTA ii Dedication To my family and friends, for always believing in me, and being my constant sources of love and support during this journey. “Life is unpredictable, Not everything is in our control. But as long as we’re with the right people. We can handle anything.” FAN IDENTIFICATION IN RED DEER, ALBERTA iii Abstract While there are many reasons sport fans choose to follow one team over another, geography is typically a major one, as people often follow their hometown team, or the team that is the closest (Rooney, 1974; 1975; Wann, 2006). However, limited academic attention has been given to situations where geographic proximity is likely to have little to no influence in the development of sport fan identification, and how individuals choose teams instead. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand how hockey fans chose their favourite team when two teams in two different cities are an equal distance away, and how they would maintain that fandom in the presence of the other team’s fans. Participants were recruited in Red Deer, Alberta, a city that is 84 miles or 135.2 km from both Edmonton and Calgary.
