Remember last month when we were discussing hockey and I pointed out
that
the game originated in my home province.
You made a crack that Canada should be better at it because of that.
Happen to read/watch sports tonight?

Won every game at the last three tournaments... 3 gold medals in a row.
Not too shabby.

Hockey as a professional sport is dead.

Sorry to break it to you. :)

As long as there's a Canada, there will always be pro hockey.

Yeah right - three teams?

Way too much expansion into areas of the US that can't or won't support
the
game.

When I finish purchasing Canada, the first thing I'm going to do is
make foozball the National Game.

Or long distance spittoon spitting - they both have their appeal.

It's a difficult choice.

I bet if you added up the population of the northern states , you have more
people interested in hockey than in Sweden. or Finland etc.
Plenty of interest for a modest 16 or 20 team league.
