from Donna Spencer of the CP at the Brandon Sun,
When science student Krista Lazzarotto tells people she’s taking a class about hockey in Canadian literature, she gets an interesting reaction.
“Everybody does a double take or asks again, thinking they heard wrong,” says Lazzarotto.
Her English instructor Laura Davis is defying the notion that Canadian literature and hockey don’t mix.
Davis began teaching a new course in January at Red Deer College. The class explores our cultural connection to hockey through Canadian fiction and non-fiction.
Hockey in the Canadian Literary Imagination, or “Hockey in CanLit” as her students call it, is a fairly new subject in academia. Davis knows of just two universities — Victoria and Saskatchewan — that have taught similar courses.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
Dave Bidini has some good hockey books. I wonder if they’re covered in this class.
