    I used to play Ice Hockey as a kid 20-30 years ago. Interesting to see it’s starting to pick up.

        That’s football/cricket in Australia. Well luckily most people aren’t fanatical like I see from Europeans and soccer, but still.

        Is Canada batshit insane like the soccer types or more like Americans and their gridiron superbowl stuff?

    Field hockey is our best kept secret. We have some of the consistently best national teams in the world and yet I challenge you to name our national teams, let alone their players.
