I thought the same thing. Aren't all canadians born with a hockey stick in their hands?

I did play some shinny but never on a team. I think shinny is more Canadian than organized hockey, no?

Shinny is shinny hockey. Pick-up hockey.

I don't think I've curled. Maybe once or twice. It's usually an excuse for drinking, much like ice fishing.

Hockey, curling and ice fishing? Are those real sports?

Very true. Noodlin' for catfish is also a great undertaking for a man of sport This is just my 2 cents but pitching horse shoes should be an olympic sport.

I miss being able to skate/play hockey outdoors.

I don't miss weak ice spots.

If curling is, then horse shoes should be as well.

And Jarts too.

Although, I'm with rankin, I love watching it for some reason.

I think it is the yelling that I can't understand

Bikes: Trek 3900

I rode my friends hardrock today, a bit smaller frame, but the feel of the geometry of that bike is so great. I love how I sit on it, and the look is sweet.

I'm almost mad I got a trek 3900 instead.

Wow. I change my drawers every day; I don't think I'd "find" anything like that stuffed in 'em unbeknownst to me.
