Folks, Some people suggest that hockey is akin to religion in Canada. To give you an idea on how important it is, Canadians are happy for every athlete who wins a medal at the Olympics, but we are not satisfied until both hockey medals belong to Canada.
The women's team lead the way winning the hockey gold yesterday. This news got announced on the front page of every newspaper. The men's team play Sweden in the finals for the last medal available at the winter Olympics. A medal that could decide which team wins the most gold medals in 2014. To give you an indication on how important this is, Toronto has just passed a by-law that allows bars to serve alcohol at 7.00 am on Sunday morning. Yes, 7 o'clock in the morning. This will allow those Toronto to congregated early on Sunday morning and worship at the altar of hockey. Canadians in the other five time zones will have different wake up times. I will be with the group that is asleep then. The Swedes, nice as they are, do not know how to play hockey.
