Now I would be surprised to hear that most of the Canadian Club would not also be a hockey fan. Of the 52 members that have joined over the past 60 days, 88% of the members are Canadian but some Americans are also fond of our National Sport as witnessed during the Democaratic pep rallies when the contenders each received a hockey stick.
I am curious as to who is going to follow the playoffs and what team you are an avid fan of. I have followed the Habs since my childhood watching Lafleur, shutt and Lemaire as well as Dryden and Vachon. Will this be their year again as they seemingly can pull a Cup out of a hat with hard work and a little luck or will they lose in the first round to their arch rivals the Bruins?
I also want to congratulate Mr. Kennington.
There will be a flurry of Canadian drivers in the Montreal race this year, many of which we know and some only if you follow NCTS.
Once again honorable mention to the Jone’s rink from Manitoba.
Congrats to the two Quebec players of Davidson who almost made it to the Final Four.
And if I forget anyone Canadian who has accomplished something special in sports, feel free to mention them.
Cheers,
JV

Bring the cup home, Montreal
Well I grew up watching Montreal since my Dad was a fan but I’m a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks. I guess I started following Chicago once I knew two guys on the team. I am friends with the Steve Thomas’ brother and I went to school with Steve Sullivan.
I have a 3yr old son that I hope to put in hockey within the next couple of years.
I am now cheering for Montreal in the playoffs now that they are the only canadian team left and that Nashville has been eliminated.

Sounds great
Yes it was a good come back by the Caps…I would have liked to have had a son play hockey but I loved watching my two daughters figure skate instead…

American Hockey fan
We are a big ice hockey family. My son just finished his last junior season. I helped manage his team for 3 of the last 4 years. We watch any hockey team if our team is not playing.
We are Washington Capitals fans and are thrilled they went for worst in late November to first last week! We are friends with Caps assistant coach, Dean Evison, our sons played juniors together.
