In 2005, the Canadian Prairie province of Saskatchewan celebrated
its 100th anniversary, and RBC Financial Group decided to
help celebrate by sending treasures from the renowned Hockey
Hall of Fame to tour the province. Why hockey? The citizens
of Saskatchewan have a passion for hockey that is unrivalled
in Canada. In fact, every year, about 425 amateur teams compete
in more than 40 categories in the Saskatchewan Hockey Association
Provincial Championships. After 100 years, it seems only fitting
that RBC salute the province's love of the game with this
special exhibit.
Focusing exclusively on Saskatchewan-born players, teams and
achievements, the exhibit paid tribute to Saskatchewan's contribution
to the sport that Canada calls its own.
