I've always thought Finland is one of the coolest places on earth.
Disproportionate number of great hockey players (one can see why) and
incredible race car drivers (all that winter rallying?).

I have a distant family connection with (ice) hockey in Canada. I'm
related to the Stanley family who created the Stanley Cup. My 3 times
great grandfather was the 13th Earl of Derby and it was his grandson,
the 16th Earl who donated the cup during his time as Governor General
to Canada.

Strictly speaking, it is Nationalism (not politics). The Olympics has
been used
The Americans always have strong teams and you always bring your best game to
us.
For a hundred years or more hockey has been our game. While we weren't
watching the rest of the world (the cold world, anyway) started playing and

You're right, it is nationalism. Hockey is part of the soul of the country so
winning is a big deal.

Montreal in 1975. It was probably a variant of field hockey type games played
in Ireland and Scotland. Oxford University in the UK started playing ice
hockey in 1885. Yale and John Hopkins in the U.S. started

That was the year we let the Washington Capitals in. It seems Washington
