In honour of that, we will be watching the quintessential French Canadian story about growing up in Québec with two religions (hockey and the church). Written by by Roch Carrier, the story Le Chandail. is based on his real life experience growing up in Sainte-Justine in 1946.
The boys all worship Maurice "The Rocket" Richard and want to do everything like him. Unfortunately, things don't go well for Roch when his mom orders his new sweater from Monsieur Eaton...

The cartoon version of this great story was created by the NFB in 1980:
