  8. #4 – Our Upbringing In school, we learn the story “The Hockey Sweater” Rocket Richard, team rivalries, and team pride

  9. #5 – Fun Canadian Rivalries If you live in Northern Alberta, you are required to hate the Calgary Flames If you live in Southern Alberta, you are required to hate the Edmonton Oilers UNLESS – your team gets knocked out of the playoffs, and the other team is the only other Canadian team left. Same goes for Montreal and Toronto

  10. #4 - Identity Canadians see themselves as tough, rugged, able to get down and fight if needed Make fun of sports with less contact - basketball

  11. #5 – The media From September to June, there are advertisements involving hockey everywhere you look

  12. The Culture of Hockey When the days get shorter, and the air gets colder, hockey gives Canadians something to look forward to, something to talk about, and a reason to leave the house

  13. The Culture of Hockey Living in the shadow of the United States, hockey gives Canadians something to be proud of, something to bond over, and something to identify with, when our identity is so diverse.
