Forced to wear it to the hockey rink -- where everyone else wears Maurice 'Le Rocket' Richard's red, white and blue -- funny things start happening to the little boy. Young and old hockey fans will understand and empathize with Roch Carrier's classic Canadian story. Sheldon Cohen's delightful illustrations bring The Hockey Sweater vividly to life. From the Publisher In the days of Roch’s childhood, winters in the village of Ste. Justine were long. Life centered around school, church, and the hockey rink, and every boy’s hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey legend Maurice Richard. Everyone wore Richard’s number 9. They laced their skates like Richard. They even wore their hair like Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch’s horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the other kids at the rink? Review Quotes “….not only sweet and funny, but a wise parable about Quebec and English Canada.” – Toronto Star Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 3 1. A Book For Every Canadian Reviewer: Lee-Ann from Kitchener, Ontario (lpoulton14@hotmail.com) Date: 11/14/2002 9:44:27 AM Every morning, on my way to work I listen to Z 103 in Toronto. They were talking about this book and someone called in because they never heard of this book. ARE YOU CANADIAN? I remember that we read this book in both French and English at school. I loved it and still do. As a matter of fact, my boyfriend is a huge Toronto fan, so with me being a Habs fan, I think I may have found the perfect gift for him. This book should be read by every Canadian, especially hockey fans. But if you are really Canadian, you would be a hockey fan. 2. The Hockey Sweater Reviewer: Melissa MacKenzie from Fort Erie, Ontario (mimackenzie19@hotmail.com) Date: 12/6/2000 3:11:36 PM This book is a must for every young Canadian as well as every library in this country. The book is beautifully told of a young Canadien fan who wanted a Rocket Richard jersey but instead got a Maple Leaf jersey but the story has magical moments and the illustrations are just incredible. The death of Maurice Richard not only saddened Canadians, particularly those who follows Le Rouge, Blanc, and Bleu but hockey and Canada lost an ambassador. This books will also inspired those to study Canadian history and culture and gives us an understanding just how much hockey means to Canada. Maurice Richard was a legend and will always be remembered not by those who watched him and met him but also for reading too. 3. The Hockey Sweater Reviewer: Donna Hertner from Kanata,Ontario Date: 9/14/2000 10:27:53 AM This book is awesome. For anyone who has a favorite hockey team you can really appreciate the humour in this book. My boys love it when their dad reads it to them with his french accent....especially seeing as he is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan!
