\n“As in the world of literature, sometimes hockey’s not pretty.” — Margaret Atwood\n<\/p>\n

\nCheck out the video of Margaret Atwood’s tips on how to stop a puck<\/a> from this week’s episode of The Monday Report. I can’t think of much better than seeing Margaret in goalie gear as she says: “I don’t like to hotdog, but if the puck carrier’s really putting lumber on it, then Momma can get nasty!”\n<\/p>\n

\nIf this piques your interest in the connections between hockey and literature, check out Richard Harrison’s book Hero of the Play<\/a> or the anthology ICE: New Writing on Hockey<\/a>. In April, I’ll be giving a paper on Harrison’s work at a conference called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Canada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Game? Critical Perspectives on Ice Hockey and Identity.\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 If only I could bring Margaret along with me…. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nNote: you can now find the video clip of Atwood on the Back Issues page<\/a> of the Monday Report website. Look for the segment in the week of January 31, 2005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
