“With that, the game was over. I’d say the audience in Canada, a nation of 30+ million, was millions of people. I doubt if the audience in the USA was even hundreds of thousands. Canada is a nation so in love with ice that men would trade their children for a zamboni. America is a nation where ice related sports are generally relegated to the crowd who loves sports, hates basketball, and needs something to do over the winter. And Minnesotans. But they’re practically Canadian anyway.”

I loved this paragraph!

One the other hand, you perhaps know how usa baketball feel when they lose “our” game in world games.
It is a lot bigger deal to beat anything Canadian in hockey than for yous to beat us. We are a bit proud, and a little surprised too.

I couldn’t help but kid around with you a bit after you have so good naturedly poked fun at us over your national sport. I was with five Canadians during the game and actually felt bad (but not too bad) for them and for you guys. It’s the same here in Mexico with a country that’s obsessed with futbol when the majority in the States hardly notices.

I’ll be sure to tune in for the World Junior Ice Curling Championship next month in hopes that your pride is restored.

I watched the last part of the third period and the overtime with your dad. We were down two goals until just before the end of the third period, so it was pretty exciting when they tied it up. But the U.S. team really did play well, so kudos to them (until next year!).
