I just found out that the CBC has launched Canadas Hockey Anthem Challenge contest to find a new song for its weekly hockey broadcast. The prize is $100,000, 50% going to minor hockey.

I’ve been to a hockey. It was like all the other boring sports events I’ve been too, but colder.

You like Hockey?! My god girl what have they done to you ? Over there in the land of unlimited snow and linguistic rioting? Of course, things could be worse, you could have liked cricket which would have instantly put you in my hit list and I would have to execute you just on basic principle!

So yeah, girl, hockey I can take, after all nobody is perfect. At least it has quick pace and there is something ridiculously satisfying when people beat each other up while trying not to fall on their butts:) So you used to be a French gal infiltrating Canada and you are transforming into a Canadian girl full of pathos for… ahem… hockey… oookkkk… I can live with that…barely…:)

Take care!

I think it’s cool to watch ice hockey live at the arena! Canada has to take advantage of that since she’s blessed with snow and ice.

Here in Malaysia the 2 biggest fevers are soccer and badminton.

Now you just made me want to watch some! But in Canada. Please send me the flight schedules.
I bet enjoying hockey is mandatory for a successful immigration application. Must be written in the Constitution. Don’t say no, you know I’m right

Always nice to ‘see’ Canada through your eyes. I so much remember finals in WC and Olympics with Canada against Russia, sometimes US, and Sweden of course (never Norway, except for the Olympics in Oslo in 52).

You compared the popularity of Hockey with ‘soccer’ as you call it in Northern America. I kind of think it is a bit funny you call yours ‘football’ as you mostly use your hands

I suppose your next post will be about curling then? I mean that’s also a sport where Canadians roles (and where Norwegians sometimes beats them LoL).
