September 18Th, Pioneer Pages Combined Rooted in tradition · Exploring the future Vol. 46 · Issue #1 Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 Loyalist College · Belleville, ON · Canada Stirling welcomes Hockeyville By Christopher King Kraft Hockeyville descended upon the town of Stirling-Rawdon and District for a second year on Sept. 14. Hockeyville is a program that is award- ed to the town that demonstrates its love for hockey and the ability of a community to come together to show that. Commu- nities that win are awarded $100,000 and two NHL teams host an exhibition game and Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts in the community. Last year, the NHL lockout prevented any exhibition games. This year, however, the lack of a lockout allowed the Winni- peg Jets to compete against the Washing- ton Capitals. At the Stirling-Rawdon and District Recreation Centre, Kraft Hockeyville laid out the red carpet on the ice for the Stanley Cup. Four players, two from each team, attended a question-and-answer period before families took their turn tak- ing photos of themselves with the cup. Guests wrote down questions and the NHL players responded in person at the arena. The questions varied from the players’ choice of video games to whether or not they would marry one audience member. They were asked about their routine and their favourite or least favou- rite parts about hockey. Photo by Samantha Pyear “It varies Monday through Saturday.

  • On Don Cherry's Citizenship in the Six String Nation
    Why I’m revoking Don Cherry’s citizenship in the Six String Nation. The Six String Nation project was conceived in the divisive atmosphere of the lead up to the 1995 Quebec Referendum on sovereignty. Referenda are necessarily divisive. They take complex problems and cast them as simple choices, usually just between Yes or No. The media took its cues accordingly and the whole debate was framed as blue vs. red, Quebec vs. Ottawa, French vs. English. Even the responses of the rest of Canadians whom the referendum made mere bystanders could only be funnelled into the polarities of “Don’t Go” and “Good Riddance”. But how was that referendum supposed to account for the voices of indigenous people in Quebec, or francophones outside of Quebec or any of the thousands of other perspectives there are on what it is to be Canadian? Well, of course it wasn’t meant to. So the Six String Nation project was meant to invite those conversations by putting diverse histories and perspectives from different communities and cultures and characters into one object - a guitar - the very essence of which is to create harmony out of internal tensions. It would exist not only as an object that illustrated that complex truth but also as a living instrument through which those who played it and those who heard it could articulate those perspectives in their own way in their own place and time. Given my experience shepherding the project around the country and beyond, I can say that it has succeeded in doing just that in however small a way.

MBDOCS_1210508.5 MCMILLAN BINCH LLP February 9, 2004 Page 2 MCMILLAN BINCH LLP TRADE-MARK ISSUES IN ADVERTISING INTRODUCTION Trade-marks are one of the most powerful marketing tools for any business. Consumers use trade-marks to identify product quality and the manufacturer. Trade-marks are also used by the advertisers to build goodwill and encourage brand recognition. Considering the creative and ever-changing nature of the industry, there are numerous ways in which a trade-mark may be used in an advertising or marketing campaign. Some of the increasingly popular campaigns include cross-promotion or co-branding, comparative advertising and ambush marketing. The following is a discussion of some of the intellectual property concerns involved in these advertising campaigns. CO-PROMOTING AND CO-BRANDING It is becoming more common for trade-mark owners to join forces to promote their wares and services and potentially reach a new market or revitalize a brand. Recently, Kraft Canada Inc. ran a back-to-school promotion that entitled those purchasing a box of Kraft Dinner to win Crayola products. The purchaser was asked to locate a code number inside the box of Kraft Dinner and then log on to the website ytv.com.

Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.

  • Hockey Night in Canada French Notes
    Hockey Night in Canada French notes – because the French version of HNIC is different than the English version in the French translation, note that these questions are about the English version. Then in the French version we will add 2 questions – we will duplicate Qs 6&7 asking if they notice and difference/like the changes from the old French Version to the new. 1. Thinking about Canadian culture and identity, how important is the game of hockey? Hockey defines Canadian culture Hockey is an important part of Canadian culture – and so are other things Hockey isn’t really a big factor in Canadian culture Hockey is just a game and has nothing to do with Canadian culture 2. Now thinking specifically about NHL hockey, how important is it to Canadian culture and identity? Very Important Important Not very important Totally unimportant 3. How important is NHL hockey to you? I’m a diehard fan I’m a fan A lot of other interests come before hockey I don’t care about hockey at all 4. Since the 2014 season began last month, how many NHL games have you watched on TV? More than four 2 or 3 One None 5. As you may know, Rogers Sportsnet now owns the rights to Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) broadcast, along with most hockey media rights to games across the country, in a 12-year, $5.2 billion deal with the NHL. The rights to Hockey Night in Canada were previously owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.
