| Reverse description | Colourised depiction of a rural Canadian pond hockey scene as designed by artist Richard De Wolfe, showing two young players contesting the puck at centre ice while two goalies stand alert in their respective crease positions. Rustic wooden structures, snow-laden conifers, and gently undulating hills fill the background, evoking the quintessential Canadian winter landscape. The applied colour technique enriches the scene with naturalistic tones. The legend 2014 CANADA 20 DOLLARS arcs along the lower periphery, with the artist's initials RHD inscribed within the design field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the RCM's long-running fine silver collector series celebrating Canadian winter pastimes, this issue belongs to a period when the mint was aggressively expanding its thematic collector program — releasing dozens of $20 silver pieces annually to the point where secondary market premiums collapsed on many issues within the series. Pond hockey, as distinct from organized rink hockey, carries genuine cultural weight in Canada: the outdoor pickup game predates the NHL by decades and is the form in which most rural Canadians historically encountered the sport.
Mintage was capped at 10,000 pieces, a figure typical of the higher-end issues in this run.
