Download or read book Pick Up Hockey written by Bryan Patterson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to all who play pickup hockey and, who given enough time, energy and help, could easily write a book like this one. As you read this collection of pickup hockey memories, anecdotes and insights, you may think, "been there, done that." Our experiences are almost national if not universal. A pickup hockey team is not part of an organized league, there are no referees, no stats are kept and there is no score keeper. Most pickup teams are organized by a small group of guys for the love of the game. They will gather enough players, usually 20 skaters and 2 goaltenders, by invitation, so that the group is closed and they own the ice-time. Some rinks offer off-peak hours for 'shinny', a kind of pickup hockey that is open to all comers. Pick Up Hockey presents experiences in the arena, suggests how to pick, teams, how to play with few players, how to know when to quit playing with the younger group, acknowledges that the end will come and much more. Bryan Patterson is a practicing nuclear power engineer who finds the time to play pick up hockey three times a week. He had lots of help with ideas for this book from his hockey playing buddies.

Book Synopsis Drink in Canada by : Cheryl Krasnick Warsh
Download or read book Drink in Canada written by Cheryl Krasnick Warsh and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993-10-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an international comparison, Cheryl Warsh introduces the major themes in both historical and anthropological studies of beverage alcohol use. In a separate essay she describes the stigma attached to female alcoholism, particularly its association with prostitution and child neglect. James Sturgis presents the collective biography of the Rennie brothers, who fell victim to alcoholism while attempting to make their fortunes in the late nineteenth-century boom-bust economies of Canada and the United States. Jim Baumohl recounts attempts to establish institutions for alcoholics on the model of insane asylums. Jan Noel describes the revivals organized by Father Chiniguy, a Catholic evangelist, which swept Lower Canada in the 1840s, unifying a French-Canadian populace threatened by the rapid influx of anglophone settlers. Glenn Lockwood pursues a similar theme in his essay, concluding that Ottawa Valley temperance lodges solidified loyalist American opposition to immigrant competitors for regional dominance. Jacques Paul Couturier analyses the regulation of prohibition in a mixed anglophone/Acadian community. Ernest Forbes demonstrates that Canadian and American prohibition provided vital economic opportunities during the prolonged Maritime depression. Finally, Robert Campbell surveys the post-prohibition experience of state monopoly as a means of liquor control. Each author brings new sources and new research techniques to the discussion of alcohol, posing methodological and public policy challenges for the future as well as a solid survey of the past.

Download or read book Consequential Art written by Samuel Amago and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish comics have attracted considerable critical attention internationally: dissertations have been written, monographs have been published, and an array of cultural institutions in Spain (the media, publishing houses, bookstores, museums, and archives) have increasingly promoted the pleasures, pertinence, and power of graphic narrative to an ever-expanding readership - all in an area of cultural production that was held, until recently, to be the stuff of child's play, the unenlightened, or the unsophisticated. This volume takes up the charge of examining how contemporary comics in Spain have confronted questions of cultural legitimacy through serious and timely engagement with diverse themes, forms, and approaches - a collective undertaking that, while keenly in step with transnational theoretical trends, foregrounds local, regional, and national dimensions particular to the late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Spanish milieu. From memory and history to the economic and the political, and from the body and personal space to mental geography, the essays collected in Consequential Art account for several key ways in which a range of comics practitioners have deployed the image-text connection and alternative methods of seeing to interrogate some of the most significant cultural issues in Spain.
Download or read book Midnight Hockey written by Bill Gaston and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-05-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Giller-nominated author Bill Gaston, proof not only that hockey players can read, but that some of them can even write. Midnight Hockey tells the story of Gaston’s final season, as he contemplates hanging up his skates, and looks back on the sport that has meant so much to him. Sometimes lewd and hilarious, sometimes (though not as often) reflective, Midnight Hockey is a portrait of Canada’s fastest-growing athletic phenomenon: beer-league and oldtimers’ hockey. Gaston spills the beans about the rules of the game (written and unwritten), weird beer, team names, and road-trip sex, illustrated with stories of Gaston’s life in the game, from the outdoor rinks of Winnipeg, through junior hockey, varsity, the professional leagues of Europe, to the late-night games and road-trip shenanigans of beer-league. For all those thousands of guys who drive to the rink late on a snowy night, who know the euphoria of a beer after the game, who think of how good they used to be, who grow nostalgic over a whiff from an unwashed hockey bag – and for anyone who has had to live with such a person – Midnight Hockey is laugh-out-loud funny, true-to-life, and ultimately thoughtful.

Book Synopsis Governing Urban Economies by : Neil Bradford
Download or read book Governing Urban Economies written by Neil Bradford and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today more than ever, cities matter to the economic and social well-being of the vast majority of Canadians. Canada's urban centers are simultaneously the engines of the national economy and the places where the risks of social exclusion are most concentrated, making innovative and inclusive urban governance an urgent national priority. Governing Urban Economies is the first detailed scholarly examination of relations among governmental and community-based actors in Canadian city-regions. Comparing patterns of municipal-community relations and federal-provincial interactions across city-regions, this volume tracks the ways in which urban coalitions tackle complex economic and social challenges. Featuring an inter-disciplinary group of established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection breaks new ground in the Canadian urban politics literature and will appeal to urbanists working in a range of national contexts.

Book Synopsis Struggle to Serve by : William G. Godfrey
Download or read book Struggle to Serve written by William G. Godfrey and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the creation of Canada's modern hospital system. While it is often assumed that this process was inevitable, many small communities had difficulty creating and maintaining public hospitals. In an era of government cutbacks in health services and comparisons with a more privatized American system, W.G. Godfrey offers a timely examination of Canada's hospital experience, showing that it was a slow journey from largely privately funded to increasingly governmentally funded institutions. Godfrey focuses on one hospital and the communities it served but also provides an overview of local, provincial, and federal hospital policies, revising the sometimes rose-tinted picture of public and private acceptance and generosity. He explores the relationship between the hospital's urban and rural constituencies and its French- and English-speaking patients, demonstrating that increasing patient numbers and changing funding sources encouraged substantial growth in hospital services from 1895 to 1953. He details how one community's understanding of the role of the hospital changed over time to match that of hospital advocates, board members, and support groups such as the Ladies' Aid, demonstrating that hospital history is as much a study of politics and community persuasion as it is of internal therapeutic advances.
