Life After Hockey plays
with the imagination

From page 3%
couple in front of me who must
have thought Life After Hockey
was goirg to explore the graver
aspects of the afterlife). -

McFee is convincing in all the
roles he plays, from a young boy
to a drawling American woman —-
and he knows how to pronounce
“les Canadiens.”

At times he portrays a hockey
tyke who writes to the Big Number
99 about his hockey woes. A No.
99 blazer descends from the
rafters and the disembodied voice
of the Great Gretzky (it really is)
offers counsel, with the final Oz-
like admonition to ‘practise,
practise, practise!’’

ln a particularly memorable
scene, McFee recreates his
boyhood.

He sneaks his mother’s
Chatelaine magazines and rubber
seals from Mason jars and...uses
them to strap on as shin pads. He

describes the coolness of the night
air as he skates under a sky fu'l of
stars. Very nostalgic. .

At the end of the play, Brown
describes the night he stumbled in
a drunken stupor into Lafleur. Guy
was skating at an outdoor rink late
at night in Montreal. Aiter getting
nailed by the puck, Brown has a
tete a tete with the Frenchman,
who convinces hirn to return to
the rink.

Brawn does, and, whether in
reality or just in his imagination,
his resemblance to Mike Bossy
tands him in a Team Canada
playoff where he scores the win-
ning goal.

Hockey is not ali violence,
Brown explains to the critics. Half
of the game is played in the imag-
ination, he says. And certainly the
rink does become a sort of meta-
phor for Rink Rat Brown’s own
imagination, a place in which any-
thing can happen.
