This full reproduction of the 1984 illustrated version includes some interesting background by Roch Carrier himself. Perhaps, one could highlight why you would add the 30 th anniversary edition to your collection (not already having it is reason enough!). Indeed, the 30 th Anniversary Edition has these and more fascinating testimonials by a Who’s Who of Canadian culture. Could we even go all out and call it the “Bible” of “the Canadian religion”? Roy MacGregor claimed that one. Maybe, “will always stand the test of time”? That was taken by Cassie Campbell-Pascall. How about “undeniably a Canadian classic” or “iconic depiction of a truly Canadian experience”? Nope, both done ( by Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau respectively). What can one say about “The Hockey Sweater”? Could we simply say it is “most beloved”? No, that was used by Ken Dryden.
