Now is the Winter by Jamie Dopp
Now is the Winter:
Thinking About Hockey
Essays, 2009
Now is the Winter: Thinking about Hockey contains twelve essays that examine all aspects of Canada's beloved sport from its mythical beginnings to its place in national identity (Canadian and others), international politics, business and spectacle. The essays are preceded by an introduction in which Richard Harrison and the author explore the current state of literature on hockey. The collection celebrates hockey while acknowledging that there is more to the game than a few isolated figures skating on an outdoor rink.
