I watched the speedskating, figure skating, hockey, and maybe a few other things that catches my eye. Most of the skiing/ snowboarding/ bobsled I dont watch.

I think it's pretty weak there's only like 5 countries involved. Canada, US, Norway, Sweden and Germany are the only countries that seem to care. The summer Olympics are a lot more competitive since you don't need ice and snow to run, jump, or wrestle.

Hey look at the bright side, the silver matches your uniforms. Honestly Crosby was basically hated by most of Canada, until that goal. Now he's a fucking legend. He's still a douche, but he has my respect now. Hahahaha cry some more America, no one touches Canada in hockey.

We only wanted to win to steal gold from Canada. but congrats on beating us with an all-star team at home, in your national sport, in overtime, on the second try. You must be SO proud  _________________

It isn't our national sport, but I wouldn't expect you Americans to know that.

Quote: Some sports are de facto national sports, as baseball is in the U.S., while others are de jure as lacrosse and hockey are in Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_sport Quote: Canada's National Sport Records show that Lacrosse was the National Sport. Lacrosse was the National Sport of Canada up until 1994. Today our National Sport is Hockey. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_n ... _of_Canada Quote: As everyone knows, Canada's national sport is hockey. http://www.pwk.resteddoginn.ca/hockey.php OH AND WHAT ABOUT THIS GEM THE NATIONAL SPORTS OF CANADA ACT -N-16.7, An act that recognized lacrosse and ice hockey as the national sports of Canada. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/National_ ... Canada_Act but I wouldn't expect Canadians to know what their own fucking national sport is _________________

Lacrosse is regarded as our national sport. Sure hockey is our favourite, but it isn't our national, though most people think it is.

Hockey IS the national sport according to the "National Sports of Canada Act" it doesn't get much more official than a pronouncement from the government... _________________

Can't always bank on wikipedia for accuracy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_Canada "Ice hockey, referred to as simply hockey in the country, is Canada's most prevalent winter sport,[1] its most popular spectator sport, and its most successful sport in international competition. Lacrosse, a sport with Native American origins, is Canada's oldest and official sport." And holy fuck why do people still post here. _________________

I did NOT get my info from wikipedia, that was simply another voice of confirmation.
YOUR GOVERNMENT says hockey is the national sport. Quote: In 1994, Bill C-212 was introduced to officially declare hockey as Canada's national sport. Opposition came from supporters of lacrosse who wanted to recognize the traditional and cultural significance of this sport. Consequently, Bill C-212 was amended to recognize both sports. Thus, on May 12, 1994, Canada's National Sport Act (Bill C-212) became law, reading: "To recognize hockey as Canada's National Winter Sport and lacrosse as Canada's National Summer Sport". cIaw wrote: And holy fuck why do people still post here. because it's bookmarked _________________
