Hockey

Kamloops Blazers vs. Prince George Cougars

Canada and Hockey is like the US and Football. They love it, they live it! And even tough it is NOT Canada's national sport, everyone thinks of Hockey if they think of Canada.
On friday I went to my very first hockey game. As I don't really know anything about hockey, I won't bother talking much about the game itself (just becaus I don't want to embarrass myself).

So, here's just a short description from a non-expert perspective: We went downtown to the hockey arena adn it seemed like the game was a big event in Kamloops (even tough the season didn't start yet) then we took our seats in the arena and the game started. "Our" Kamloops Blazers played against the Prince George Cougars.
After everyone sang the national anthem together (or better: after one girl sang it and all the players looked at their feet) the first period started. Yeah, without going much into detail, even tough it didn't seem like it for the first 2 periods, the Blazers won 4:3. And I have to say that I like hockey. It's a fun sport alltough it sometimes seems like people just go there to watch the players fight. Honestly, I think that's the main reason they have to wear these helmets and stuff, so they don't kill each other.
Well, it defenitely wasn't the last hockey game I watched =)
Here's a real Canadian Hockey song for you:
