Go Canada Go!!

Surprise, surprise....Canada and US face-off in the IIHF Women's World Hockey Championship, again. This match-up will be the 15th in a row, and the US team will be plotting revenge as they were beaten in their home last year. Canada defeated Russia by a margin of 8-1 to take them to the championship game, and the States had much tougher time beating Finland 3-0.

There is always a sense of pride when Canadian hockey players put on the sweater emblazoned with the Maple Leaf, be it the World Juniors, World Championships, or Olympics, and we wish Team Canada good luck to bring home the victory!

Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the change of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter, we are alive. (Stephen Leacock)
