Hockey is king here but soccer is too..basketball as well and baseball and football. The diversity of our population at this point in time has Canadians and their kids (boys and girls) trying all kinds of sports. Kids from countries where soccer or even cricket is the major sport are learning hockey. Lacrosse plays a part in many hockey players younger lives. I have a friend who has 3 girls, they are now 15, 17 and 20 and have all played hockey since they were 5 and 6 years of age, traveling with their teams all over Canada and the U.S. One is a goalie. When not playing hockey they play soccer.
I was very happy that my son chose music.(he did try skating)
I hate the cold and early mornings. Together they are a lethal combination for me.There's not enuf Tim Horton coffee in Canada to get me to a cold rink at 5 a.m.
LOL
The piano is in the living room and the teacher was around the corner.
( I took figure skating lessons for years as a kid at an outdoor rink...so I know about cold! )
Canada/hockey - it's in our blood regardless of whether we play or not.
