Lace up your skates and step onto the ice with Hockey, a new exhibition at the New Brunswick Museum.
This special presentation from the Canadian Museum of History celebrates Canada’s national passion, on tour until May 12, 2019. From the frozen ponds of childhood to the NHL, hockey has a way of uniting us all.
Relive the magic of Paul Henderson’s winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series, witness Manon Rhéaume’s trailblazing debut as an NHL goalie, and reflect on Sheldon Kennedy’s advocacy for a safer game. Discover how tabletop hockey games, Roch Carrier’s The Hockey Sweater, and Shania Twain’s NHL-inspired stage outfits have woven hockey into the fabric of Canadian life.
Meet Willy Eldon O’Ree, the Fredericton-born hockey legend who broke the NHL’s colour barrier. See if O’Ree’s ceremonial jersey (on loan from the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame) would fit you, and explore more unique artifacts that tell the story of hockey in the Maritimes.
Join in on the fun with interactive activities, including a recreated 1972 Summit Series living room, mini hockey nets, and a photo booth. Share your own hockey memories and make new ones with family and friends. As Dominique Gélinas, Head of Exhibitions & Visitor Experience, says, “Hockey is part of our shared memory. It’s a chance to revive the joy of playing and watching the game we love.”
