The Comparative Research on Ice Hockey Development Paths between China and Canada from Ice Hockey Culture Perspective
Canada is a leading ice hockey sport country in the world,with a deeply entrenched ice hockey culture.As ice hockey experiences rapid development in China,comparing the historical processes and cultural characteristics of ice hockey between China and Canada can help optimize the development path of ice hockey in China.The comparison reveals significant differences in ice hockey cultural characteristics between China and Canada:at the material culture level,China has a sparse population of ice hockey players,fewer venues,and inadequate economic and educational support for ice hockey;at the institutional culture level,there is an inverted talent cultivation system in China's ice hockey,lacking a chain-style development in popularization at the middle and lower levels;at the spiritual culture level,while China shares a similar understanding of the competitive spirit of ice hockey with Canada,the general populace does not consider ice hockey as an essential part of life or a social activity,with a shallow level of understanding of the sport.In this regard,strategies such as leveraging social resources to enhance venue and equipment construction,deepening the integration of sports and education to improve talent selection systems,using ice hockey events as a driving force to strengthen domestic ice hockey organizations,and promoting cultural exchanges to increase the sense of cultural identity with ice hockey should be proposed.By optimizing the development path of ice hockey,it can continuously promote qualitative improvements in China's ice hockey industry.
