I am not a Huge Hockey Fan, but...

I do remember the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, and not only was it fun following the Americans, but it was cool to see the Finns and Swedes and Czechs excel on the world stage, too.

And yeah, Scandinavia and Alaska have their Arctic pleasures as well.

It isn't all Ellesmere and Victoria and Baffin and Nova Zymala.

PS: I do love Canadians, but it is nice to see a few underdogs snatch victory once in while. I have had family in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. And I really appreciate Anne of Green Gables. Do you need more proof?

I grew up a Montreal Expo fan! Yupie!!!!

PPS: When will hockey catch on in Latin America?
