Hockey and Canadian Identity: The Media and Politics of Sports.
This paper will first consider the history of the relation between media and sports culture. Then the paper will examine the more recent changes in media corporations, where large media conglomerations now manage sports teams, and the impact these control systems have on the National Hockey League. In conclusion, this paper will re-draw attention to the exclusive nature of hickey as "culture," and indicate possible changes in media representations which might elaborate Canadian notions of identity, and culture. 7 pgs. 15 f/c. 4b.
