"Joan of Montréal" is definitely a find.
Brigitte Gall as "Joan" articulates the frustration of every young girl who has aspired to ice time with others who enjoy playing hockey without social restrictions.
Conveying the excitement of being the best goalie she can, the audience joins her quest to help the team win. However, it seems that her enthusiasm to be on the same team, striving to win with the rest is discouraged by the nuns at her school and her family.
Joan's predicament recalls somewhat Roch Carrier's "The Sweater," where a young boy is forced to wear a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater received instead of the ordered Habs (Montréal Canadiens) jersey from an Eaton's catalogue. However, the parallel between the rejected sweater and the rejected Joan is literally skin deep and ends there. While the boy can shed his sweater and return to the fold of his team in complete acceptance, Joan cannot shed her gender and receive complete acceptance by the team, the coach, the fans and her family and friends.
Joan's story tells the truth about why women are not as interested in watching men's hockey today as the team owners would like us to be. Adding female commentators, no matter how enlightened, to the sport like the recent addition on Hockey Night in Canada just doesn't cut it. Where the ultimate interest lies is being able to play the sport professionally, be rewarded for good performance and be paid well like the boys who play it.
Every girl should be able to aspire to that.

Peter Jordan is hardly working!
The host of the weekly "It's a Living" show explores some truly fun and unique things people do and get paid for!
How 'bout it gals? For one night, Peter joined "Farmer's Daughter" as a fourth in an all female trio and fulfilled all his obligations including the "touching breasts" ritual before the concert (no hands) -- which was a bit of a squat for tall Peter.
Peter has even starred as an alien corpse in the X-Files. He had to lie still and naked for hours while the camera crew did take after take!
As a Mother's Day florist, Peter peeks into finding the best flowers in the world for customers who in turn give them to their mothers.
As a timpani player, Peter carefully counted his beats bars to ensure that he pounded proper rythmns to classics played by a symphony orchestra.
A virtual star hockey player (number 49 on some team?) in a video game, Peter endured body checks and bruises and offered a lot of audio grunts and groans to help video game programmers to produce the motion required for a hockey player in a video game.
Peter has also dangled from a rescue helicopter, skated short track, shouldered a musket at Fortress de Louisbourg, salvaged logs on the BC coast, figured out bagpipes and helped plan a wedding that was all pride for the bride!
If you are looking for a little chuckle along with some inspiration into what you would like to do with your life, you should tune in to this one, Mondays at 7:30 p.m. on CBC TV!

Miami Vice, move over. Way over! Cold Squad encompasses the drug trade, prostitution, murder, child sex abuse and political corruption. All this is investigated with cold leads that are years, sometimes decades, old.
Ali McCormick (Julie Stewart) is among toughest of cops portrayed on North American TV screens and she leads a team of cops who investigate the grittiest of crimes in the Greater Vancouver area. As a cop with an erratic schedule, Ali decides to become a Big Sister to a pre-teen girl and then develops feelings for the father of the girl. This makes her work/home life more complicated.
The complexities of being a cop on Cold Squad are further complicated by the personalities and talents of other members of the team. There is the ambitious office assistant, Christine Wren, (Joely Collins) who embarrasses superiors with her correctness and knowledge, a former undercover RCMP officer Nicco Sevallis, (Gregory Calpakis), who mixes up his alliances, the hardworking, but not very careful Mickey Kollander (Tamara Craig Thomas) and the right-wing Christian fundamentalist, Len Harper, (Matthew Bennett) who listens genuinely well before making his thoughts known to Ali.
Stewart, who has played motherly and romantic roles in the past, can glory in her success as one of the most watched hard-edged lead roles on TV today as she enters another "seasoned" season.
If her performance and scope continue, in few short years she will take her place alongside actors like Helen Mirren. Go for it, Julie!
