I mean sure it's the greatest sport known to man and is pretty much the unofficial sport of Canada but technically baseball is known as America's sport and not many people like it. Most Canadians seem to love it and I was just wondering are they born with skates or what?

Replies Tavis Posted at 4:18 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 Almost every community gives people the oppertunity to play hockey, at a very young age, and most take it up, and if not, you watch it, because it's what's on T.V and is talked about. I prefer playing Road Hockey, but watching Ice Hockey trishMAZING Posted at 8:21 am on Dec. 14, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 8:12 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 cause it's the only thing our country is good at lol, hockey is alright, I prefer tennis or swimming :] Love Today Posted at 8:14 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 Quote: from Ollie92 at 8:13 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 Quote: from rickyspeople at 8:11 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 coming from a person who lives in a climate that has 6 months of possible snow day weather, aswell as a pond to skate on in my backyard...    hockey's here, it's been around, you can't avoid it, and so you love it.   true, skating is even part of our gym program at school, plus a girls and guys hockey team Gah, I hate the fact that you have to go skating in gym class.
