Although the hockey season will be over soon, it is still front and centre in a day of special presentations by the Society for International Hockey Research. Featuring well known hockey historian Kevin Shea, journalist Marc Durand and authors Jean-Patrice Martel and Benoît Clairaux, the four sessions — two in English and two in French — cover topics such as Lord Stanley and his Cup, the NHL before the “Original Six,” the history of the Quebec Hockey Club and Hockey Night in Canada.
Entry is free with Museum admission. Registration in advance is required, however, as space is limited.
Following the presentations, Dr. Jenny Ellison, curator of the Hockey exhibition, will be on hand to highlight this newest exhibition and share the stories behind her favourite artifacts. Dr. Ellison will also be available to discuss the Hockey exhibition and give a guided tour.
