Hockey A People's History DVD

At a Montreal skating rink in 1875, the puck is dropped on a new sort of game. Its fast and punishing, and on this night hockey is transformed from genteel sport to seething spectacle.

Hockey: A Peoples History is CBCs epic series chronicling the story of a game and the soul of a nation. Born as a game of survival against the snow and ice of a Canadian winter, hockey gave a new country its first heroes and champions.

The story of hockey is the struggle of class and gender, as working class men and women fight for their place in a rich mans game. Its the dreams of towns and their teams, where rogues and roughnecks do battle with hockey barons and bluebloods.

Hockey is where Canadas cultures collide and rivalries divide. Its also a game that unites us like nothing else can. In a tale that spans two centuries, this bold new series Hockey: A Peoples History documents the power and passion of a game and the country that gave it life.

The DVD is a 6-pak containing all 10 eps of the series in english and in french, plus more than 200 minutes of bonus content including behind-the-scenes features; historical hockey featurettes, extended interviews with hockey greats Gretzky, Dryden, Bowman, Cherry, Wickenheiser, and with Tom Cochrane; directors' commentaries.
