Save the date for the first History Speaker Series event of 2015!

[Anne Leask]

Join us at 1:15 PM on 12 February in the MacKirdy Reading Room (HH 117) for From Nicholas Nickleby to High School Graduate: Hockey, Education, and Canadian boys, 1945-1967, presented by J. Andrew Ross, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Guelph.

This talk looks at this debate through an examination of the interaction of two trends in the early post-Second World War era: the new imperative of a high school education and the concurrent development of a sophisticated extra-curricular amateur hockey player development system that aimed to supply professional clubs. It argues that the public debate over hockey and education went beyond sport and spoke to the greater issue of the future prospects of Canadian boys as moral beings, educated citizens, and skilled workers.
