Hockey is Canada’s game.
It’s the sport that unites a country of 37 million people as one, bringing us all together through one shared passion.
It’s Saturday nights gathered around the television with family and friends, taking in Don Cherry and Ron MacLean on Hockey Night in Canada as your favourite team goes to battle with their biggest rival.
It’s waking up at 7:00am on a Sunday morning to go to practice with mom or dad, and getting home to sit down to breakfast with the family.
It’s the memory of Sidney Crosby’s gold medal winning overtime goal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and how every single Canadian can tell you exactly where they were when it happened.
It’s the streets of our towns and cities lined with passionate fans during playoff time, waving flags, banners, signs and encouraging cars passing by to honk their horn for their team.
It’s the never-ending debate between Oilers and Flames fans, or Maple Leafs and Senators fans, and how abandoning your team at any point in your life is sacrilegious.
Hockey is the greatest game on earth, and Canadians are seemingly born with a passion for the game in their blood.
We wouldn’t have it any other way.
