Edie Parker
Edie Parker (Edit Martinko) is a Canadian sculptor, illustrator and a designer. Born in Hungary, Edie gained prominence as a Canadian artist for her iconic sculpture entitled “Our Game”, an homage to Canada’s national passion which has become the international hockey world’s most photographed monument. Our Game (bronze, 17L' x 1.5w' x 6.5h') stands in from of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets, where it was unveiled in 1994.

Coming to Canada at age 19, Edie studied fine arts at Mohawk College and the Ontario College of Art & Design.

She was commissioned to design and sculpt “Our Game” while working at Design Workshop Inc2. as a designer and sculptor under the directorship of Ken Young (exhibition designer and director). The Bronze statue was casted and installed by art foundry MST Bronze Limited.

Every year, millions of visitors to Toronto and the Hockey Hall of Fame make a point of immortalizing their Canadian pilgrimage by having photos taken with the sculpture.
