We fucking invented the game. Here in Canada even old goofballs like me can tell you they played for over 20 years (and I was damn good in my day).

Are you serious Canada invented hockey? (I'd be interested in finding out.
Canada (Olympic hockey record):
6 5 2 13 (6 gold, 5 silver, 2 bronze for a total of 13)
Population: 31Mil
Sweden:
1 2 4 7
Population: 9Mil
Ice hockey is the national winter sport in Sweden (and probably Canada too). They are both very good at it. I played hockey in Sweden as a kid, and all my friends did too. I know a couple of guys from my small town (Ornskoldsvik) that wen professional and played in Canada.
It's the best game. Too bad it's *never* on TV here in Australia!
Oops! I forgot to say:
GO SWEDEN FOR THE GOLD!
Heja Sverige!!
