The Hockey Sweater
The iconic National Film Board of Canada animation “The Hockey Sweater” (Le chandail de hockey) is a beloved story that captures the essence of Canadian winter culture and the passion for hockey. Based on Roch Carrier’s short story, this classic film tells the tale of a young boy’s devotion to his hockey hero and the cultural significance of the Montreal Canadiens sweater.
This timeless story perfectly embodies the spirit of outdoor skating and hockey that RinkWatch celebrates – the community connections, winter traditions, and cultural identity that revolve around ice and snow.
