Hockey

Get ready to dive deep into the heart and soul of Canada's favorite pastime! The sweat-soaked smell of the locker room. The flick of the wrist-shot. The scream of the enthusiastic fans. Hockey isn't just a game; it's woven into the very fabric of Canadian culture. It unites us, thrills us, and defines us. This one-of-a-kind travelling exhibition from the Canadian Museum of History offers visitors an exciting interactive experience showcasing high points in the sport from both yesterday and today. This engaging exhibition explores the importance and influence of hockey over the past 100 years, and brings the history of the sport to life through profiles of participants at both the professional and amateur levels.

But that's not all! Lambton Heritage Museum has curated a special addition to the exhibit. Explore local artifacts and hear stories with deep ties to Lambton County. These treasures offer a glimpse into how hockey has shaped and influenced our own community, providing a richer understanding of its significance on a local level.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the passion, history, and community spirit of hockey. Join us as we honor a sport that holds a special place in the hearts of Canadians everywhere.
