  • Canada's Capital Treasures
    FOR GRADES: CURRICULA 6 TO 9 CANADA’S CAPitAL TREASURES Series Introduction Seven classroom-ready lesson plans and five introductory videos highlight and explore the significance and importance of Canada’s Capital Treasures. These treasures represent knowledge, sacrifice, commitment and ingenuity. This series of lesson plans is available for download at www.teachmag.com/curricula. These lesson plans were produced by the National Capital Commission (NCC) in collaboration with the Virtual Museum of Canada and TEACH Magazine. LESSON FIVE: “NEVER GIVE UP!” — MAURICE RICHARD MONumENT Learning Objectives The learner will: • Make compelling and persuasive arguments regarding community achievements; • Conduct individual and group research; • Understand the role of memorializing as an important function of maintaining identity; • Examine Canadian personalities of the mid-20th century. Keywords Maurice Richard; Stanley Cup; The Hockey Sweater; Never Give Up Introduction Walking in Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau, Quebec, most Canadians aren’t surprised to see a bronze statue of a giant hockey player. After all, hockey is Canada’s game, a unifying force across the country, and Maurice “The Rocket” Richard was one of the game’s greatest players. Richard dominated the NHL in the 1940s and ’50s, playing for his hometown Montréal Canadiens, and increased international recognition of a young Canada on the world stage. His records and achievements are legendary: scoring 50 goals in 50 games, winning eight Stanley Cups, and being fast-tracked to the Hockey Hall of Fame. His image appeared on everything from magazine covers to cereal boxes. His famous number 9 jersey was retired within a month of his leaving the league in 1960.

Abstract This thesis explores the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC), an annual hockey tournament held in Canada where Indigenous youth compete in provincial/territorial teams. Research focused especially on the insights that coaches, organizers, and other tournament officials can provide into this tournament that aims to both highlight the skills of Indigenous players and also to provide cultural activities and enhance pride. Drawing on interviews at the NAHC at the 2019 tournament in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, this thesis aims to understand the impact the tournament has on those involved, as well as outside influences that constrain and impact the event. The major topics presented are history of the championships, experiences with coaching, and the role Indigenous identity plays.

  • Hockey Hall of Fame Is the Perfect Place for Such a Deal
    Dec. 21, 2008----- TORONTO, Ont.----A young friend just married a huge sports fan. He's the kind of guy who likes to drive around North America taking in essential sites like minor league baseball stadiums in Toledo, Ohio. She, not so much. But the promise of travel over the next 50 years gives her a chance to shop, sightsee and check out regional cuisine. This prevents any marriage from becoming cold steel on ice. The Hockey Hall of Fame is the perfect place for such a deal. The hall of fame opened in 1993 at Brookfield Place in downtown Toronto. The soul of the hall is where the Stanley Cup resides -- under a stained glass skylight inside a Bank of Montreal building. Constructed in 1885, this part of the hall had been the oldest bank building in North America. The rest of the museum is adjacent to an office and retail complex and expansive food court. Brookfield Place also is linked to the Allen Lambert Galleria, a dazzling six-story light and glass building designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, on board for the Chicago Spire. The downtown hockey hall has become one of Toronto's top tourist attractions. My summer visit is on my mind because it is cold in Chicago. And the Blackhawks host the outdoor Winter Classic on New Year's Day before 41,000 fans at a sold-out Wrigley Field. A Chicago angle is apparent the minute you enter the Hockey Hall of Fame. One of the first things I saw was smiling Blackhawk Bill Mosienko, the pucks and stick from his fastest hat trick -- three goals in one game -- in National Hockey League (NHL) history.

    Historica Canada Education Portal Leadership and Moving Mountains Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprint videos for Teeder Kennedy, Wayne Gretzky, Maurice Richard, Marilyn Bell, Terry Fox, and Larry Walker. Whether carrying a puck over the ice, slicing through water, crossing continents or excelling at America’s pastime (baseball), these athletes are leaders in their respective sports. But what makes them icons of leadership is just as much a matter of what they did beyond the sports arena to change the way we look at ourselves as Canadians. Aims To increase student awareness of Canadian athletes as leaders and agents of change; to learn how they have demonstrated their leadership on the national and international arenas; to understand the challenges each of these Canadians faced in pursing their goals; to analyse how the Canadian public accepts or rejects the inevitable flaws of its athletic ambassadors; and, to question accepted notions that associate certain physical character traits with leadership potential. Background The roots of athletic leadership may exist before birth, but it could be argued that circumstances, rather than innate ability, determine leadership potential. Teeder Kennedy's father was killed in a hunting accident one month before his son was born, initiating a series of events that would lead Teeder Kennedy to worship the blue and white jersey of the Toronto Maple Leafs throughout his life. As Kennedy's career evolved, Toronto's fans would return this affection. Maurice Richard emerged from the tough streets of French-Canadian Montreal to hoist the hopes and dreams of the Québécois nation on his shoulders.
