Hockey is not a national pastime in Canada. It's a religion. And the intense religiosity of it only becomes more apparent when Canada plays the US. For us, it's more than a game, it's a matter of national pride. It's playing against everything the US represents and standing up for the underdog.
A couple weeks ago Team Canada faced off against Team USA in the World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Penticton. I went down to do a story on it and really got swept away from all the Canadian spirit and patriotism.
Mister Canada right here
Fans decked out in Canada attire stream into the arena
This picture sums it all up
