The Sweater © National Film Board of Canada

Once there was a boy who, like all French Canadian boys, dreamed of growing up to be like just like hockey legend Maurice "Rocket" Richard of the Montreal Canadiens. When he played hockey with the other boys they were like an entire team of Rocket Richards in their matching Canadiens sweaters.

When the new sweater arrives, the boy is horrified--it is a sweater for the English Canadian team, the Toronto Maple Leafs...
