It highlights characters from Canadian plays directly or indirectly involved with the game and discusses the impacts of hockey on their lives. This study also examines the use of hockey as a dramatic device in Canadian Drama, namely as a symbol of struggle and conflict. Canadian Hockey Drama productions date back to the late 1960's, and include: Theatre for Young Audiences, Bilingual Drama, Musicals and Shakespeare Adaptations. This study outlines the myriad ways in which Hockey Drama has been employed by playwrights to broach socio-politically relevant Canadian issues.v, 105 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
