Dr. Matthew Hoven is an associate professor of sport and religion at St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta. In Hockey Priest he takes a new look at the life, work and legacy of Father David Bauer, based on his extensive archival research.

Hockey Priest looks past simply understanding Bauer as a do-gooder or hockey innovator. It shows how he attempted to create a different stream of hockey that could better support youth and so build up the nation. Bauer offered a vision for Canada's sport that remains an important counterpoint in the sport's history and its ongoing challenges.

Join Matt to find out more and get your signed copy of the book.
