View Bill's Paintings
William Roy “Bill” Brownridge was one of Canada’s most popular hockey artists and author of four Canadian classic children’s hockey books. The game of hockey – with emphasis on children’s enjoyment of playing this great game – had been a life-long inspiration for Bill. His Heart of Hockey® website offers a visual celebration of the powerful emotions Canada’s game evokes for all of us.
Bill’s hope was that his artwork helps you rekindle many wonderful memories and we invite you to bring home your own “The Spirit of the Game.”
