Harold the Hockey Player – Character Insight
I created Harold the Hockey Player because I grew up with hockey. Hockey is a very important part of many families in Canada.
I never played hockey myself, except for a few games of street hockey with my brother, my uncle and a few neighbourhood kids.
When I was a little girl, I remember being carried out on the ice by Davey Keon at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario. To this day, I have no idea why I was chosen. I do suspect it had something to do with a rare disability I have, congenital chorea. Whatever the reason was, that day will stay with me forever.
I remember my parents being big hockey fans, more so my mom than my dad. My mother used to watch the Toronto Maple Leaf’s play hockey on television. When my brother was little, my mother used to coach his hockey team.
That is just one hockey story from one hockey family, in our hockey crazed country of Canada and I know there are millions more.
