Description:
This animated short film recounts a touching childhood memory by Roch Carrier. The story takes place during the time when Maurice "Rocket" Richard was a hero to young hockey fans. A boy finds himself isolated from his friends after a simple error: he mistakenly receives a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey instead of the desired Montreal Canadiens one. Embarrassed and frustrated, he desperately wants to fit in with his peers. His attempts to fix the mistake with his mother are unsuccessful, leaving him to wear the uniform of the rival team. Adapted from Carrier's book *The Hockey Sweater*, this classic NFB film is a heartwarming look at childhood, peer pressure, and the complexities of growing up, appealing to audiences of all ages.
