However, this reductionism ignores the ways Canadians consume hockey differently based on their socio-economic background, gender, ethnicity, and location. Moreover, Canadian culture is not static, and hockey's place in it has evolved and changed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eCoast to Coast\u003c\/em\u003e, a wide range of contributors examine the historical development of hockey across Canada, in both rural and urban settings, to ask how ideas about hockey have changed. Conceptually broad, the essays explore identity formation by investigating what hockey meant to Canadians from the nineteenth century to the Second World War, as well as the role of government, entrepreneurs, and voluntary associations in supporting and promoting the game. \u003cem\u003eCoast to Coast\u003c\/em\u003e is an intriguing look at the development of a national sport, a must-read for hockey fans and historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eClass, Community, and Commercialism': Hockey in Industrial Cape Breton, 1917-1937 \u003cem\u003eDaniel Macdonald\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scientific Aggression: Commercialization, Class, Irishness, and Manliness in the Shamrock Hockey Club of Montreal, 1895-1901 \u003cem\u003eJohn Matthew Barlow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Arenas of Debate: The Continuance of Professional Hockey in the Second World War\u003cem\u003e J.
