Detailed Description
Examine the incredible growth of Canada's national pastime, including the NHL¿s information, the "Original Six" and the national/international expansion.

Course Critical Performance and Learning Outcomes

 
 To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated
the ability to:
-Explain the origins of hockey, identifying the most significant
Canadian events and people that may have contributed to the birth of
the sport, and providing a socio-historical understanding of early
20th century Canada
-Trace the development of the National Hockey League - its history,
role and structure as a labour organization. 
-Examine the events and processes that led to the expansion of hockey
into non-traditional and international locations; assess the effects
of expansion on Canada and Canada's place in the hockey community.
-Assess marketing and merchandizing strategies in terms of impact on
the growth of hockey as a sport in Canada especially in
non-traditional markets; describe this effect on local and national
economies, peripheral labour forces (i.e. licensees, etc.) and the
cultural infrastructure of Canadian hockey franchise cities. 
-Analyze bias and discrimination in the sport of hockey; examine past
and present exclusionary practices concerning players and management
as they relate to social change and problems in Canada and explore
other forms of bias at local and national levels of competition
-Trace the evolution of equipment: the economic effect of local and
national hockey equipment manufacturers; the changes to equipment that
have influenced the nature of the sport; and, the rise of new
industries and technologies to support the future directions of
equipment design.
-Identify the changes in the rules and regulations and discuss their
impact on the game.
-Examine the impact of media and media saturation of hockey in print,
radio, television and the Internet.
-Discuss the significance of unions and player-agents; assess the
impact of unions over time and speculate on the potential
repercussions of strike actions on core industries (players, vendors,
arenas) and peripheral industries (hospitality, transportation,
merchandise) as they relate to Canada's local and national economies.
-Develop an appreciation of hockey as a "cultural' phenomenon through
the examination of Canadian popular culture (film, literature, art,
music, etc.) and its relationship to the sport.
