NHL Starts Today

I feel like such a useless Canadian, I don't even follow hockey! I really do enjoy watching the odd game, however.

When I was growing up I was taught that the national sport here was actually lacrosse, but it looks like that has changed, slightly.

In 1994, Bill C-212 was introduced to officially declare hockey as Canada's national sport. Opposition came from supporters of lacrosse who wanted to recognize the traditional and cultural significance of this sport. Consequently, Bill C-212 was amended to recognize both sports. Thus, on May 12, 1994, Canada's National Sport Act (Bill C-212) became law, reading: "To recognize hockey as Canada's National Winter Sport and lacrosse as Canada's National Summer Sport". While hockey's popularity is unquestionable - especially in Canada, lacrosse is still enjoyed by Canadians and has gained popularity in the United States, England, Ireland, and Scotland


I wonder how many people follow lacrosse? Then again, I wonder how many people follow Canadians?

Ever notice the lack of folks of color either participating or attending these events?

There are not any![/quote]

So does that mean that indie rock is for pseudo-intellectual white trash?[/quote]

Indie rock is for psuedo-poor middle class/rich kids.
