Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is bringing together history buffs and hockey fans, players and parents with its new exhibition Hockey Marching as to War.

On display from October 29, 2015, to January 22, 2016, the exhibition recounts how the First World War impacted hockey players―men and women―and transformed organized hockey during and after the war. Items featured include reproductions of photographs, posters and documents from the collections of LAC and the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF), as well as digital copies of Canadian Expeditionary Force files and the attestation papers of over 25 HHOF inductees.

Come visit the exhibition at 395 Wellington Street in Ottawa, on December 5–6, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Five important trophies from the Hockey Hall of Fame will be on display:

• Jack Adams Award,
• Frank J. Selke Trophy,
• Conn Smythe Trophy,
• Georges Vézina Trophy, and
• Hart Memorial Trophy.

The event is free, there is parking available, and this may be the last opportunity for your players and their families to come down and take some memorable pictures next to these trophies while they are in Ottawa.
