Snow Day is a nostalgic piece centred on the love of hockey by both players and fans alike. The building atop the snowy cliff is an amalgam of architectural details from Toronto's beloved Maple Leaf Gardens and has a variety of references to the Toronto Maple Leafs throughout the piece: the jersey hanging on the tree, the single maple leaf, and the maple key signifying the seed of future victories.

The television and armchair provide an homage to hockey fans generally and to my father specifically: a huge Leafs fan who tormented my sister and I when we were kids by hogging the only TV in the house on every Hockey Night in Canada.
