Description
One of the most famous and successful professional hockey teams of all time, the Montreal Canadiens are a major institution in Quebec society. Perhaps more than any other team in Canada, the Habs are integral to the identity, economy, and culture of their home town and province.
The essays in The Montreal Canadiens: Rethinking a Legend delve into causes and effects of the team’s extraordinary influence. What were the connections between the Maurice Richard Riot of 1955 and Quebec’s Quiet Revolution? Can we say that loyalty to the team constitutes a religion for its fans? How is corporatization affecting how Quebecers connect with their beloved team? Featuring a wide range of perspectives on Le Grand Club and its social significance, the book offers a fresh and fascinating take on one of Canada’s greatest sports teams.
