Canadians’ love of sport cuts
deeper than a skate blade

Gone are the days when Canadians were simply satisfied to
be viewed as a nation that only dominates the hockey world.

with the earth; and, perhaps, moments of quirkiness that turn
into good old-fashioned fun. Because… oh, Canada, there’s
plenty of story behind the sports we love!
