The reverse side depicts children engaged in winter sports, including sledding, ice skating, and hockey; this is accompanied by a quotation from Roch Carrier's short story, "The Hockey Sweater":
Les hivers de mon enfance étaient des saisons longues, longues. Nous vivions en trois lieux: l'école, l'église et la patinoire; mais la vraie vie était sur la patinoire.
The winters of my childhood were long, long seasons. We lived in three places—the school, the church and the skating rink—but our real life was on the skating rink.[3]
In the image, one of the hockey players is wearing hockey sweater number 9. Many believe this is to honour Canadian hockey legend Maurice Richard (which would follow Carrier's story, in which a young Québécois boy is obsessed with "The Rocket").

Hopefully, Carey Price will back again next year. They always have a chance with him in the mix.

The Habs were awful last night, losing face-offs and plenty of turnovers.
Carey Price was awesome and kept them in the game.
The Baby Bolts are growing up
Nan, these hometown Bolts are looking pretty good against those Rangers!

How can you tell you're watching the Canadian broadcast of a hockey game? They start by saying it was a "massive day" in the NHL and yet the only 2 events are the Rangers vs Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring a new coach.
If Toronto does something, it's the only thing that matters. A team that hasn't won a Cup since 1967 and missed the playoffs 9 out of 10 years is still the only team that matters. LOL
The Maple Leafs have been the NHL’s most valuable franchise for nine straight years. The team prints money as the sole pro hockey team in Canada's biggest market. The Leafs charge the highest ticket prices in the NHL and have sold out home games for more than a decade.
that team is one serious money maker - my understanding is that even with the exchange rate they contribute more $$$ to the league than any other team

Everybody was rooting for a Ducks-Rangers finals.
I find the Hawks-Bolts pairing much more interesting, though the West will be favored.
The Hawks are really an amazing squad.
Lotta heart.
Great Cup Playoff so far.
Chicago never quits.
They have a couple of suspect defense-men though.
Crawford is awesome.
So is Big Ben though he sure takes a lot of bathroom breaks.
The terrible triplets are fun to watch and have scored 50 of the 70 goals for Tampa in these playoffs..
Looking forward to tonight tho I think Chicago will win the next two
Speaking of never quitting...wow, these Bolts are the real deal. They're a scrappy speedy bunch. I'm impressed with what I saw tonight. This looks to be a 7-game series and a great one for the fans.
