    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

    ABOUT THE SCHAR SCHOOL POLICY SEMINARS NOVA LEADERSHIP DINNER AND AWARDS THE REGIONAL ELECTED LEADERS INITIATIVE The Schar School of Policy and Government Presents The Regional Elected Leaders Initiative Friends - We are thrilled to have created the Regional Elected Leaders Initiative (RELI) within the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. As we continue to grow and expand our offerings to prepare our students better, we also recognize a responsibility and opportunity to engage directly with the elected leaders in our home of Northern Virginia. Our vibrant Northern Virginia region now exceeds 2.5 million people—nearly one of every three residents of Virginia. Our region is diverse and increasingly complex, requiring cross-border collaboration and innovative thinking to tackle our challenges. That is why we are so excited to have created RELI as a means to support, engage, educate and connect our local elected officials from the state house to the school house. Through policy seminars, the NOVA Leadership Dinner and other special events, future programming, and strategic partnerships - RELI will be a facilitator and catalyst for hands-on regional dialogue and problem-solving. Please join us as an attendee, a policy expert or a sponsor. Best, Mark J. Rozell Dean THE REGIONAL ELECTED LEADERS INITIATIVE The Regional Elected Leaders Initiative (RELI) of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University was created to enhance regionalism and support Northern Virginia’s regional elected leaders—General Assembly Members, City and Town Mayors and Council Members, County Supervisors and School Board Members. As Northern Virginia grows and faces increasing challenges, RELI recognizes the value of working across jurisdictional boundaries and levels of government to identify and implement effective and sustainable solutions.

  • Father David Bauer
    Father David Bauer It was on an outdoor rink behind his house on the corner of King and Allen streets that a young David William Bauer played hockey as a boy. On this rink and in this home he learned the values that would garner him a gold medal for sportsmanship many years later at the 1964 Olympic Games in Austria. While Reverend David Bauer (1924-1988) became known across Canada as the force behind the re-emergence of a national hockey team in the 1960s, there is one story that is told and retold because it reveals the character behind the man who once said, “We will play to win, but not at any price.” Father Bauer was the coach of the national team in 1964 when a Swedish player broke his stick during play and threw it at the Canadian bench. The stick hit Father Bauer in the face and when his angry players strained for vengeance Bauer, whose face was bleeding, held them back with a few words. The Canadian hockey team placed fourth that year but the International Ice Hockey Federation awarded David Bauer a gold medal for sportsmanship. He went on to manage the national team at the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble, France where the Canadians won a bronze medal. Father Bauer also managed the 1980 Olympic team in Lake Placid, New York. Father Bauer was a strong advocate for amateur hockey, believing that young hockey players should receive a good education. “We have lost sight of the fact that we must distinguish between the objectives of professional hockey and amateur hockey.
