This morning Hockey Canada announced what all of Canada, in fact most of the world has been waiting for with bated breath!

The 2010 Canadian Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team.

Other countries, blessed with almost endless summer, may look at normally conservative, quiet Canada with disbelief. Even our cousins to the south laugh at the national passion that is Hockey.

But to us Hockey IS Canada, more than Timmy’s, Canadian Tire, Molsons or Moosehead combined. And every four years Canada sends her best to show the world why Hockey is OUR Game.

So mark your calendars! February 16th, 2010 – Canada vs. Norway – and the countdown begins!
