NHL WORKSHEETS LEARN CANADIAN PROVINCES

Follow the Stanley Cup as it travels across Canada

Canada is a big country. It's hard for little minds to relate to the far away province of British Columbia when they live a thousand kilometres away (or more likely two thousand kilometres away). Let's put some context with the giant space, let's connect the provinces with something tangible (like the Stanley cup!)...okay maybe not literally tangible, but, something the mind of an eight year old boy can imagine holding up.

There is a tradition of NHL hockey players taking the Stanley Cup back to their hometown. Great, let's use that to our advantage and get our little students to match up the hometowns of their favourite hockey stars with the provinces on the map.

Luckily, Canada is full of great hockey stars, so I easily found a few who have won the Stanley Cup and taken it home. I just listed the player, their hometown, and asked the kids to colour in the province of their hometown in a certain colour.
