Leisure is experience of and with many meanings where the boundaries of inclusion, exclusion and citizenship are constantly negotiated on and off the field. In the Canadian context, an analysis of hockey and the decision to not play sport made by Punjabi-Canadian women reveals how the study of sport is intricately linked in the reproduction of power-relations in society. A commitment to think “outside the box” provides much needed and ongoing dialogue about alternative means of knowledge production that push back against normative ideas. The impetus to do so are situated in expanding notions of citizenship, justice and offering people-forward solutions to complex societal problems through the study of leisure.
