Hi Alison.
Unfortunately, the Alternate Routes editorial committee has decided not to recommend your paper for external review. However, our reviewers did enjoy reading your submission, and would encourage you to re-submit for another issue. I have included some of the general comments from our reviewers.
Thank you for your submission and interest in Alternate Routes.

On behalf of the Alternate Routes internal review committee.
Reviewer 1.
-very many good ideas throughout, but unfortunately, they remain underdeveloped. Lots of potential here.
-didn’t really find that she made the necessary theoretical links to make this article work. In order to tease out the link between hockey and nationalism, for example, I think she would have needed to really delve more deeply into the literature on nationalism. We are left with a summary of the importance of sport in national ‘ideologies’ and a bit of a manifesto on the importance of hockey in Canada. Importance in what? For whom?
-need to explore the role hockey plays in constructing a dominant national identity, but for many, hockey remains a hyper-masculine, deeply racialized space for the enactment of national identit(ies), not a universal...how to account for this?
Reviewer 2.
-I liked this paper, it's very well-written. The introduction was really strong although the conclusion could use some work.
-Her thesis statement states that she will consider three sports – baseball, football and hockey – but she doesn’t really cover the former two well and I think the paper needs more hockey.
-There is an extensive setting up of concepts and how sport contributes to national identity, but I think there needs to be stronger linkages made to hockey (the point of the paper) rather than leaving hockey to the end with some conclusive comments.

Don't worry! I don't need commiseration or sympathy! Considering that this was my first ever attempt at publication and I merely chucked a pre-written term paper at it, this is very encouraging. In fact, if you wanna read it and give me some feedback of your own, let me know and I'll send it to you. So far only my mother and three profs have given it a look, so that's not very helpful.
Also, tell me your thoughts about the survey below!

Posted by: bad credit loans in canada at October 3, 2010 09:59 PMExtremely useful article. Myself & my neighbor were preparing to do some research about that. We got a wonderful book on that matter from our local library and most books were not as descriptive as your information. I am really glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.
