Legend No. 17 [Легенда №17] Russia, 2013 Color, 134 Minutes hockey. To shed perspective on his talent, after he led the Soviet team to victory at the Olympics in 1972 the National Hockey League had two teams propose $1 million offers for Kharlamov. At the time, the NHL’s top-performing players were only earning $12,000-15,000 per season. Kharlamov never defected to the West but, instead, achieved numerous milestones as a Soviet hockey star: eight gold medals in eleven world championships, eleven out of fourteen national championships, his efforts (and Legend No. 17 sustained injuries) in the 1972 Summit Series [Легенда №17] between Canada and the USSR, and two gold medals at the Olympic Games.

"Splendid Condition and Enormous 'Grit'": The pS orting "Other" and Canadian Identity Abstract Canadian identity is mutable, changing in response to outside influences. This phenomenon is especially apparent in sport. This paper focuses on the formation and maintenance of Canadian identity in sport. By connecting the 1867 Paris rowing crew, the 1972 Summit Series, and the 2019 NBA champion Toronto Raptors, this paper seeks to investigate how Canadian identity has been shaped through sport. Using newspaper articles, online editorials, and academic sources, this paper shows how integral the sporting “other” is to the Canadian identity.

  • League Equivalencies –
    League Equivalencies – Gabriel Desjardins League Equivalencies ’a goal in one league worth in another? NHL teams draft and sign players from numerous major junior leagues, US and Canadian colleges, European Elite Leagues and various North American minor leagues. In evaluating players, it is critical to know how a ’performance will translate to the NHL. Other things being equal, the quality of one league relative to another is reflected in how many points a player would score in each league. Research has shown that while NHL pla’playing time and point scoring peaks between ages 23 and 26, their point-per-game (PPG) production reaches 90% of its peak value much earlier, and holds its value beyond age 30. It is rare that a player plays significant time in two leagues in the same year, but players often play in one league in one year and another the next. With a large number of such players, we can then estimate the quality of each league using the ratio of the ’PPG in each year. What we are most interested in is what one point in a given league is equivalent to in the NHL – in other words, the league equivalency. There is enough data to use the above method to estimate the league equivalence for the best minor leagues (AHL/IHL), most major professional leagues (European Elite Leagues) and the WHA. Minor Leagues With the demise of the International Hockey League, the AHL is now the top minor professional league in North America. But how good is it? Obviously, there are no serious games between NHL teams and their AHL affiliates.

  • Reimagining the Summit Series in the Canadian Cultural Memory
    H-Sport CFP: Reaching the Summit: Reimagining the Summit Series in the Canadian Cultural Memory Discussion published by Taylor McKee on Wednesday, February 24, 2021 REACHING THE SUMMIT The year 2022 marks the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series. This hockey series, played between Canada and the former Soviet Union, has become the subject of Canadian cultural mythmaking since Paul Henderson’s winning goal for Canada during game eight. InHome Game: Hockey and Life in Canada (1989), Ken Dryden and Roy MacGregor identified the Summit Series as a uniquely “Canadian memory” and marked 1972 as a “coming of age” for Canada as a nation (195). Now, over thirty years since Dryden and MacGregor observed its significance, the Summit Series has continued to pervade broader sporting and cultural discourse in Canada. Despite the fact that younger generations today experience the Series as a received cultural inheritance, efforts to memorialize it continue to appear in many forms. For example, filmic treatments, such as Summit on Ice (1996) or Cold War on Ice: Summit Series ’72 (2012), attempted to visually recreate the series’ material realities. Within the world of hockey, events such as the 2012 Canada-Russia Challenge, which was intended to mark the series’ fortieth anniversary, have been hosted. Finally, the 1972 Canadian Men’s Hockey Team was honoured with a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2012 and an official Canada Post stamp in 2017, two tributes intended to reaffirm their staying power as national icons. As Dryden and MacGregor asserted in 1989, when it comes to the Summit Series, “the specifics of memory do not deliver the resonance of the feeling that lingers” (194).

  • MAIS 700 Essayfinal
    HOCKEY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN CANADA By BRENDAN L. SAUNDERS Integrated Studies Final Project Essay (MAIS 700) submitted to Dr. Nanci Langford in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts - Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta November 2014 Abstract Hockey and National Identity in Canada This interdisciplinary study examines how scholars, historians, writers and others present hockey as part of Canada’s national identity. The study considers how the growth and development of hockey parallels in many respects the political and economic growth of Canada in the years following Confederation. The paper presents examples of the representation of hockey in Canadian fictional and non-fictional literature, music and art with respect to Canada’s national identity. Sociological issues pertaining to hockey including the participation of women and minorities are also briefly examined. The research determined that the early history, development, acceptance and recognition of the sport have naturalized the sport of hockey as a characteristic of Canada’s national identity. The success of Canadian teams at international spectacles such as the 1972 Canada-Russia Super Series and the Winter Olympic Games helped to reinforce the concept of hockey as part of the national identity. !2 Introduction In 1994 the Parliament of Canada named hockey and lacrosse as Canada’s national sports. Parliamentary discourse in favour of the motion centered on four arguments: (1) the invention of the game in Canada is significant, an important moment in Canada’s history; (2) hockey is played and watched by most Canadians; (3) hockey is a unifying force in the country and (4) Canada’s leadership in hockey is the result of cooperation, especially that of English and French Canadians (Jebwab 194).
