Le hockey est le sport des Canadiens Les experiences etles souvenirs que nous partageons - lacer ses patinspour la toute premiere fois, jouer une partie de hockeyde rue, le but historique marque par Sidney Crosby, oucelui de Maurice Richard - font du hockey bien plusqu'un sport.Bien que le lien entre hockey et identite nationale ait eteetudie, il faut s'interroger sur la place qu'occupe ce sportdans notre comprehension des identites canadiennesdiverses et multiples d'aujourd'hui. Cet ouvrageinterdisciplinaire explore le hockey tant commesport professionnel qu'amateur, depuis une approchetantot historique, tantot actuelle, en lien avec desproblematiques en Etudes canadiennes, dont le genre,la race et l'ethnicite, la competence, la sexualite, lageographique, et lance une reflexion sur les diversaspects du hockey dans la vie des Canadiens : le jeu, lessupporters, la radiodiffusion, l'activisme communautaire. 
Cet ouvrage complete l'exposition de « Hockey :Plus qu'un simple jeu », presentee par le Museecanadien de l'histoire.  For Canadians, hockey is the game. Shared experiencesand memories-lacing up for the first time, shinnyon an outdoor rink, Sidney Crosby's historic goal,or the one scored by Maurice Richard-make hockeymore than just a game. 
While the relationship between hockey and nationalidentity has been studied, where does the game fit intoour understanding of multiple, diverse Canadianidentities today? This interdisciplinary book considershockey, both as professional and amateur sport, andboth in historical and contemporary context, in relationto larger themes in Canadian Studies, including gender,race/ethnicity, ability, sexuality, geography, and reflectsupon all aspects of hockey in Canadian life: play,fandom, sports broadcasting, and community activism. 
This interdisciplinary scholarly collection is an extensionof the "Hockey in Canada: More Than Just a Game" exhibition presented by the Canadian Museumof History. 
Includes one chapter in French.
Industry Reviews

The opening section offers three outstanding essays about hockey's origin and history. (...)

The seven "documents," I thought, were a notable innovation. They consist of either experiential statements or brief historical materials. (...) Two last features of the book are worth noting. One is that the text is printed on glossy heavy-stock paper, which allows a sharp reproduction of many colour photographs, and adds a slightly coffee-table book-like feel-a nice touch for a volume that balances academic and popular concerns. The other is that a few of the texts are in French. This seems especially appropriate given the focus on diversity. (...)

Hockey: Challenging Canada's Game is an excellent interdisciplinary resource for people interested in taking hockey seriously as a topic for research.

-- Jamie Dopp * Rethinking Hockey *

De maniere generale, on ne peut que saluer la demarche de Jenny Ellison et Jennifer Anderson qui ont rassemble un imposant contingent de specialistes du hockey issus d'horizons disciplinaires aussi varies que les aspects abordes. Alors que le hockey professionnel est habituellement le centre d'interet de bien des chercheur.e.s universitaires et detient une part importante des publications scientifiques sur le sport au Canada, les recherches sur le hockey amateur ou recreatif ainsi que sur le hockey feminin rassemblees ici sont un apport significatif a la connaissance. (...) L'impression qu'on retire de la lecture de Hockey : Challenging Canada's Game - Au-dela du sport national, c'est la volonte des codirectrices et des collaborateur.trice.s de decoloniser le savoir sur le hockey.
