Congratulations to the Canadian Olympic men’s and women’s hockey teams for bringing home the gold medal! What is even more satisfying is that both gold medal games were against our neighbours to the south, the USA. Make no mistake about it, hockey in Canada is like football in Brazil, rugby in New Zealand and Brangelina in [...]
