From locker rooms to change rooms
Ice hockey occupies a central place in Canadian popular culture and national mythology, routinely invoked as “Canada's game” and as a formative site for producing disciplined and socially valued citizens. At the same time, the sport has been widely critiqued for reproducing racialized exclusion, settler colonial power relations, and other forms of social harm. This article examines the intersections of sport, settler colonialism, and reconciliati…
Beyond the gym
This article examines how physical and health education (PHE) teachers in Quebec approach mental health education. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with eight high school PHE teachers, our analysis identifies several key barriers that hinder the integration of meaningful mental health content in their classrooms. These include a lack of formal training, large class sizes, persistent stereotypes framing PHE as a non-cognitive subject, and lim…
Sport ‐ Related Gentrification
Urban studies scholars and sociologists of sport have critically examined the production and consumption of world‐class sports spectacles that are constitutive elements of urban growth agendas and broader accumulation processes by dispossession. This multi‐year community‐based research project goes behind the spectacle, exploring the uneven impacts of Rogers Place, a $613.7 million (CAD), publicly financed hockey arena and its associated entertai…
Exploring the leisure time physical activity (LTPA) experiences of women with a physical disability in India
Empirical evidence has shown that leisure time physical activity (LTPA) has numerous benefits for women with a disability. However, little information is available on the nature of LTPA experiences within a majority world context. This study explored the LTPA experiences of women with a physical disability in India. Five women with a physical disability were interviewed in-person through go-along interviews. Photos and field notes were taken thro…
The spectacle of settler colonial urbanism, racialized policing, and Indigenous refusal of white possessive logics
In this article, we explore how the underlying logics of white possession continue to fuel a cycle of state-supported territorial acquisition, enclosure, and expulsion in Edmonton, Alberta’s city center through the recent opening of Rogers Place, a publicly financed $613.7-million arena and home of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Edmonton Oilers. Drawing from a two-year ethnography, we examine how men’s professional hockey and its related land…
Nothing Is Gonna Change If We Don't Care for Everyone”
In the fall of 2013, the authors received funding to help develop and implement an afterschool wellness program alongside Indigenous youth aged 6–10 years old in the North Central neighborhood of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Growing Young Movers (GYM) afterschool program was funded, in part, as a corrective response to a broader social trend in which Indigenous youth in this neighborhood reported declining health and wellness outcomes, as we…
Manufacturing Compliance with Anti-Indigenous Racism in Canadian Hockey
Interviews with Indigenous and settler players on the Beardy’s Blackhawks Midget AAA hockey team, as well as with those players’ parents, unanimously acknowledge racism directed at Indigenous players during the team’s most recent season. More insidiously, the interviews register social pressures within hockey culture that discourage reactions to such racism and thereby condition acquiescence to and potential reproduction of oppressive colonial co…
Negotiating the New Urban Sporting Territory
The new urban sporting territory in Edmonton’s city center was constructed within the framework of continued settler colonialism. The main catalyst for this development was sport-related gentrification: a new, publicly financed ice hockey arena for the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers, and a surrounding sport and entertainment district. This two-year ethnography explores this territory, in particular the changing interactions between pree…
Structural Inequality, Homelessness, and Moral Worth
This urban ethnography explores how a group of men experiencing homelessness collectively produced an economy of moral worth and socially beneficial labor within and through a weekly sport-for-development program in the distinct settler-colonial context of Edmonton, Alberta. For over two decades, weekly floor hockey games have been organized by local health workers as part of a broader sport-based intervention/corrective aimed, in part, at reform…
Slap Shot! Sport, Masculinities, and Homelessness in the Downtown Core of a Divided Western Canadian Inner City
This urban ethnography explores how a group of low-income (often homeless) men performed a range of masculinities through a sport-for-development program in the Western Canadian city of Edmonton, Alberta. For more than two decades, weekly floor hockey games have been organized by local health workers as part of a broader sport-based intervention/corrective aimed, in part, at reforming Edmonton's urban 'underclass,' one that is decidedly Indigenou…
Redd Alert! (De)Coding the Media's Production of Aboriginal Gang Violence on a Western Canadian First Nation
This article examines the articulation of a racialized moral panic surrounding Aboriginal gang violence and the community of Maskwacis, a collection of four First Nations in central Alberta, Canada formerly known as Hobbema. Our analysis is situated within the distinctive settler-colonial context through which Aboriginal gangs were mediated (Ginsburg 1991) by the mainstream commercial media as an issue of public concern in this particular Cree co…
The Uses of an Inner-City Sport-for-Development Program
As a result of a rapidly changing global political economy, deindustrialization, and neoliberalism, a new form of racialized urban poverty has become concentrated in the inner cities of innumerable North American urban centers. In response to these material conditions, various nonprofit organizations, corporate-sponsored initiatives,and underfunded municipal recreation departments continue to provide a range of sport-for-development programs for …
Urban Outcasts, Disposable Bodies, and Embodied Research in a Western Canadian 'Arriviste' City
In this article, we follow the recent calls of 'sport and physical cultural studies' scholars to revisit the significance of the embodied research process and, in particular, the lived social body of the qualitative researcher. Between 2011 and 2013, we conducted a critical ethnography of the experiences of less affluent (and often homeless) young men at publicly subsidized weekly floor hockey games in the basement of a psychiatric hospital in Ed…
Living With War
If sport scholars are going to contribute to a critical (inter)national dialogue that challenges “official versions” of a post-9/11 geo-political reality, there is a need to continue to move beyond the borders of the US, and examine how nationalistic sporting spectacles work to promote local military initiatives that are aligned with the imperatives of neoliberal empire. In this article we provide a critical reading of the Canadian Broadcasting C…
