Ice hockey has been a key element of Canada's cultural and social history.
 This has been captured on various releases from Canada Post.
 In 1956 Canada Post Office released a 5¢ stamp paying tribute to Canadian hockey players for "the prestige they have earned for Canada in international competition."
 Releases of the late 20th Century included the commemoration of the XV Olympic Winter Games held in Calgary, a three stamp set honouring the 75th Anniversary of the National Hockey League, the 100th Anniversary of the Stanley Cup, and the 25th Anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series.
 In the 2000s, the key release has been the series of National Hockey League All-Stars.
 The series lasted from 2000 to 2005.

Robert Alan Eagleson (born April 24, 1933) is a disbarred Canadian lawyer, convicted criminal in two countries, former politician, hockey agent and promoter.
 Clients that he represented included superstars Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler, and he was the first executive director of the NHL Players Association (NHLPA), which was initially lauded for improving the bargaining power of National Hockey League (NHL) players.
 He is also well known for providing the opportunity for professional players to compete in international hockey, by promoting the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union, and the Canada Cup (now the World Cup of Hockey).
 However, Eagleson was convicted of fraud and embezzlement and briefly imprisoned, after it was revealed that he had abused his position for many years by defrauding his clients and skimming money from tournaments.
 After his convictions, he was removed as a member of the Order of Canada and resigned from the Hockey Hall of Fame where he had been inducted in the builder category.
