Oral HISTORY INTERVIEWS
Much of the history that we store in our heads is lost as we age or pass away. Oral history is the practice of recording people’s recollections and personal stories for the future.
Our oral history programme captures the ‘lived experiences’ of the hockey family: the great and the good of our sport; coaches, umpires, players and administrators from all backgrounds and levels of hockey.
Oral History Collection
Welcome to the Hockey Museum’s Oral History Collection. These audio recordings capture the personal stories, memories, and experiences of players, coaches, officials, and fans who have been part of hockey’s rich heritage. Each interview offers unique insights into the game’s evolution, memorable moments, and the people who shaped hockey history. Listen to these voices from the past as they share their passion for the sport and their contributions to the hockey community.
