I talked to Janvier again about his experience at residential schools, and you can read about that in the column linked below, but I wanted to add here his comments about his love for hockey and his thoughts on hockey as a unifying force in Canada.
“That’s the only thing that is Canadian, that ties anybody, nearly anybody, together. Not politics or the parties that run politics. They can’t do that. Hockey is the only thing that unites Canada together. I know that because I played the game myself.
“That’s the Canadian glue. It doesn’t matter what background you are, skates and a hockey stick and a puck. The puck unites us.”
