This picture describe the Canadian identity because hockey is Canada's national winter sport. Also a lot of Canadians play hockey or are involved in hockey (coaching, watching there kids play). Also Canadians enjoy watching hockey and most Canadians can tell you there favourite team if you ask. Hockey is also thought of as a symbol of Canada because in the winter a lot of commercials involve Canadians either playing hockey or watching hockey or supporting and being involved with a local league. Hockey is also Canada's most successful sport in international competition. We also have really good teams, like our world junior team, usually they either win gold or place high every year because of there dedication and support from there friends and family. Finally I think hockey is a symbol of Canada and part of the Canadian identity because it is a big part of a lot peoples lives in Canada.

Joel, you have provided numerous reasons for why hockey is part of Canada's identity. I agree that many Canadians are involved in hockey to some degree. Do you think that commercials reflect our hockey identity or have they contributed to the creation of our hockey identity?
ReplyDeleteI think that commercials contribute to the creation of some people hockey identity.
ReplyDeleteWhat characteristics of Canadians are shown by our love of hockey and what it involves (ex: coaching kids' teams)?
ReplyDeleteSome characteristics that are shown by our love of hockey and what it involves are support, dedication, leadership and teamwork. hockey players in Canada show there dedication by showing up to the rink for practice even if its early. Young hockey players are taught to leader there team and play as a team. Canadians like fans of NHL teams of of there sons or daughters show support in different ways the fans of NHL teams show there support by going to games and cheering the team on while parents drive there children to games and practices, motivate and even coach the teams. These are some characteristics of Canadians that play or watch or are involved with hockey.
ReplyDeleteGreat response, Joel.
