Gordie Howe and Denis Brodeur<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Frye on pucks
\nFor all Canucks
\nAnd others who like
\nSports on ice.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tim Horton knew
\nThat Norrie flew
\nAround the rink
\nNot once but twice.<\/em><\/p>\n

Watching a hockey game is not directly a spectator sport, because anyone interested enough in hockey to watch a game knows how the game is played, & through that knowledge can see much more<\/em> of what is going on, with or without a commentator, than the players.\u00a0 (CW 13, 95)<\/p>\n

The difference between leisure and distraction or boredom is not so much in what one does as in the mental attitudes toward it.\u00a0 It\u2019s easiest to see this if we take extreme examples.\u00a0 Our television sets and highways are crowded on weekends with people who are not looking for leisure but are running away from it.\u00a0 Leisure goes to a hockey game to see a game: distraction or boredom goes to see one team trample the other into the ice.\u00a0 (CW 10, 224)<\/p>\n

Wherever we turn in this problem, we keep falling over the word \u201ceducation\u201d: but if education means trying to get people to stop going to hockey games and go to discussion groups on great books instead, education isn\u2019t going to help much either. (ibid., 225)<\/p>\n

We get bored because we feel that something is missing inside ourselves.\u00a0 We look outside ourselves for the missing place, either aggressively, by trying to bully somebody, or by trying to forget about ourselves by throwing ourselves into some kind of illusion.\u00a0 For this state of mind, illusion is a lot better than reality.\u00a0 Far better to go into squealing hysterics over a rock\u2011and-roll singer than over a dictator: far better to fight the Russians in a hockey game than on a battlefield.\u00a0 But illusion can\u2019t fool everybody all the time.\u00a0 Some people, sooner or later, have to wake up and look for the missing piece inside themselves. (ibid., 225)<\/p>\n

The television camera, being essentially an extension of one person\u2019s eyes, peers, squints, and pries; it is looking for a single visual focus.\u00a0 The focus is \u201cwhere it\u2019s at,\u201d and television has a great deal to do with the obsession of the last few years with this phrase.\u00a0 If we ask what television does best in extending the individual\u2019s visual range, it seems clear that it is particularly good at, for example, football and hockey games.\u00a0 These are, as I suggested earlier, different from baseball in that they are specifically \u201cwhere it\u2019s at\u201d games, where it\u2019s at being usually where the ball or puck is.\u00a0 Focussing on the ball or puck also clarifies the pattern of opposition in the game being played: that is, it illustrates the strategy of one team confronting another.\u00a0 The result is that television tends to report everything as though it were some kind of football or hockey game, and the vogue for \u201cconfrontation\u201d and polarized issues is a major social feature of society\u2019s effort to absorb the television way of seeing.\u00a0 (ibid., 296)<\/p>\n

I wish the makers of such films would realize that no event has any meaning without its visual context and without its historical context.\u00a0 This program was what Andr\u00e9 would call incestuous: it was begotten, born, and bred of the television medium.\u00a0 It looks dead now, for the same reason that no one wants to hear about last year\u2019s football games.\u00a0 The assumption throughout was that a person\u2019s \u201creal\u201d character is the one he would demonstrate on one side or the other of a polarized issue, and this assumption is preposterous.\u00a0 The confrontation issue, including football and hockey games, is a form of social ritual.\u00a0 (ibid., 298)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Television is consequently most effective when it presents such rituals as public weddings and funerals, or the ritualized confrontations of football and hockey games, and it presents \u201cissues\u201d in the same polarized way. Such direct pro\u2011and\u2011con opposition, with all neutral or middle ground eliminated, is also what the revolutionary aims at: the revolutionary strives for situations in which everyone opposed to his group can be equally characterized as \u201ccounter-revolutionary.\u201d (CW 11, 149)<\/p>\n

It is almost irresistibly easy for television to create melodramatic situations, with the good guys arrayed against the bad guys, and so presenting the illusion of a world in a state of constant violence, even though actual life, as Mr. Mohr reminds us, sees violence only rarely. Such melodramas even enter the presentation of sports, whether the sporting event is phoney, like the wrestling matches described by Mr. Kotcheff, or genuine, like hockey games.\u00a0 Television emphasizes particularly the \u201chuman interest\u201d or dramatic side of events and issues, that is, it puts actual events into dramatic forms. Somebody remarked in the discussion that we depend on the news media to structure the news, and that word \u201cstructure\u201d is immensely important in this context. Once we get past the talking head in television, we are instantly in a world of drama, whether we are watching a hockey game or a race riot. (ibid., 161-2)<\/p>\n

Sadism in sports: gladiators to hockey. (CW 25, 196)<\/p>\n

I seem to have got off on an irrelevant track here, a line of thought connected with the sex war.\u00a0 It is curious how closely the cult of the unfeminine male is connected with a protest against matriarchy.\u00a0 Actually, heroism & dandyism are apt to go together, as how Cardigan charged into the mouth of hell & in corsets & rouge.\u00a0 The only men who patronize beauty parlours & get permanent waves are professional hockey players: it\u2019s people like me who are most careless of their bodies & least vain of their personal appearance, my hair being an accident.\u00a0 (CW 15, 23)<\/p>\n

The closing tune [of the Vic Bob] was a very lively and catchy one, based on a skit called \u201cThe Last Resort,\u201d where a travelling salesman\u2014I mean a man at a travel bureau\u2014finally broke down in front of a difficult family and a song called \u201cGo to Hell\u201d started.\u00a0 The theme was the Royal Commission on Culture trying to find some, & deciding to boil down their results in a \u201crevue.\u201d\u00a0 They finally decided that Canada\u2019s culture was primarily physical\u2014hockey, pea soup & the mounties, & they presented the \u201cMrs. Mackenzie King medal\u201d to a \u201cNature Woman,\u201d a sort of Girl Guide mistress.\u00a0 The leading actress was Jane Mallett, and a very competent actress she is too.\u00a0 Donald [Harron] did a wonderful skit on a naive Canadian author bringing a drama about a mounted policeman and a bear to Hollywood. (1950 Diary, 5 May)<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve remarked before, playing goal for the girls\u2019 hockey team is about the only job I haven\u2019t<\/em> been assigned around this place yet. (1951 Diary, 27 February)<\/p>\n

We took a taxi and the man chattered about hockey games.\u00a0 He\u2019s been a coach in Ottawa and was homesick for it.\u00a0 \u00a0(1953 Diary, 1 March)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
