About The Hockey Conference
The Hockey Conference is a biennial event held at various locations throughout North America. It has instrumentally advanced scholarship on ice hockey, and brings together hockey scholars and community members who are interested in, participating in, and working in the sport. Hockey scholars can come from various fields; their perspective for studying the sport can be grounded in things like globalization, marketing, history, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, literature, or anatomy and physiology. Potential speakers for 2018 (funding pending) include: Karl Subban, Jen Botterill, Harnarayan Singh, and Gerry Ranking. www.thehockeyconference.ca Twitter + Instagram: @thehockeyconf #hockeyconf2018

The conference committee invites abstract submissions from scholars in various fields whose work engages with the sport of hockey, in all its diverse forms, in a multitude of ways. These can include, but are not limited to historical, empirical, conceptual, and artistic approaches to the sport. This is the second and last call for abstracts; please submit them to Dr. Cheryl MacDonald at cheryl3@ualberta.ca by Friday March 16th . A key theme of the conference is diversity and inclusion; however, all abstracts are most welcome.
Hockey is played and experienced in variety of manners. In some ways, it is ever changing. In others, it remains timelessly the same. Like many aspects of the social world, it can be influenced by factors such as globalization, the economic market, health and safety concerns, and the identities of those participating in it. Although diversity and inclusion will be highlighted, the conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers to present their work and facilitate discussion surrounding topics such as the following:
- Analytics - History
- Business and economics - Literature
- Coaching - Management
- Community building and development - Media
- Embodiment and ability - Popular culture
