An extract of the Pullover of Hockey ( The Hockey Sweater ), one of the most famous tales of Carrier, is reprinted on the back of the ticket of 5 $ Canadian. He tells the history of a young boy who orders the shirt of the team of hockey of the Canadian of Montreal by using the catalog Eaton, but receives a pullover of the team of the Maple Leafs of Toronto in the place. This history is regarded by much as a literary allegory on the linguistic and cultural tensions between the English and French Canadians, and represents one of the most important work of the Canadian literature ever written, and also an essential reading for whoever seeks to include/understand what means Canadian being. ONF made a cartoon of it.
