Teaching/ Learning Strategies1. Begin this activity with a discussion about hockey to engage the students’ interest. Ask the students to consider why hockey is such a Canadian sport. In your discussion make mention of Canadian hockey legends to familiarize students with the references in the short story. 2. Using the textbook and/or other sources recount the significance of the Team Canada games against the Soviet national team in 1972, i.e., it was an example of the increased openness between Canada and the Soviet Union in such areas as wheat and barley export from Canada. In particular, focus on the national euphoria that resulted from Team Canada’s victory. 3. Students consider a response to the following: “after the inability to resolve the bitterness, and violent divisions within Canada prior to 1972, how was it that a hockey game could unite Canadians, even if only temporarily?” In your class discussion, focus on why sports often draws from nationalist sentiments. 4. Video resources on Maurice Richard are available and segments may be shown in class to introduce the short story. 5. Read the story “The Hockey Sweater” with the class and follow up with a discussion about the nationalist sentiments associated with the Maple Leafs and Canadiens hockey sweater. 6.
