2017 Royal Canadian Mint Coin Sets for Hockey Fans to Collect

When you think of Canada. you think of hockey. In fact, it’s presumed, somewhat half-jokingly, that an all-consuming passion for the sport is part of what defines you as a Canadian. It’s ever-present regardless of where you live in Canada and hockey dominates television, even life, during winter. In 2017, Royal Canadian Mint released Passion to Play. A must-have 7-coin collection to celebrate Canada’s love for hockey. These popular coins featured colourways and insignias from some of Canada’s most loved teams such as Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames.

The Beginnings of the Game

This iconic sport has been a cultural beacon of Canada for many years and most discussions regarding its originality begin with the climate. Considering the temperature, which can be recorded at 40 below freezing during the long and dark winter months, and the country is known as the land of a thousand lakes, it comes as no surprise that ice runs through Canadians blood. Originally it was called Shinnie and was invented in the 1800s. You can imagine the ancestors of hockey greats such as Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux in seemingly uninhabitable land, finding the closest frozen lake and strapping on makeshift skates. Games with little-to-no rules, 15 player teams, and home-fashioned kit, using odd-shaped sticks and homemade pucks soon evolved and became the sport that we know and love today, hockey.

“Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter, we are alive.”  the Canadian writer and humorist Stephen Leacock once said.

Canada’s True Love

Canada had to share their loved sport with their southern neighbours, America, and only 2 out of the first 6 teams in the National Hockey League (NHL) were Canadian. This only reinforced their pride for ownership of the sport and enthusiasm that fans brought to the games, although it is easy to see why. When considering the attraction to hockey you can understand the appeal. A fast-paced, exciting and skillful sport it certainly grabs the attention of the fans and holds it. Pucks fly at breakneck speeds across the ice, reaching 100 miles an hour and even faster. The speed of the sport combined with players throwing huge body checks around, and the occasional punch, keep the fans passionate and often leaving with a glow of excitement.

Passion to Play Royal Canadian Mint Coin Set

In 2017, Royal Canadian Mint celebrated the national sport and released 7 beautifully coloured collectible hockey coins, a highly desired collection for enthusiasts and fans alike. Silvia Pecota, a Canadian designer, went to great lengths to depict scenes that would resonate with adults and children who hold hockey dear to their hearts. Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks are the chosen few teams and all coins are presented in a box emblazoned with the logo of the teams. What makes these coins stand apart is what they represent. These 7 coins are the embodiment of the Canadian spirit and love of hockey, depicting scenes that any true Canadian will recognize, know and hold a special place in their hearts.

Canada is renowned for its vast landscapes, natural beauty, maple syrup, and above all, ice hockey. Ice is in Canadians blood. What Colonial Acres offers with this fantastic collection is to be a part of something special that truly represents Canada’s love for hockey. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity, visit Colonial Acres website and join the growing number of collectors with this amazing collection.
