Hey - I like your story and the style of your writing.
But I disagree with your opinion of hockey in Canada.
I don't want everyone to believe what you say about hockey.
I lived in Ontario in a town north of Toronto up until I was 26 years old when I moved to Europe.
I never learned to skate and I never played hocky.
None of my family (including aunts, uncles etc etc) ever watched hockey or ever talked about it.
I had a lot of friends in Canada and I never heard any of them ever talk about hockey.
I can't remember even hearing anyone talking about hockey in highschool.
Hockey is not what Canada is about at all.
I can only guess that you personally like hockey and have decided to make your
personal desire the desire of all Canadians.
Please don't paint Canada with your personal opinions.
Canada is a great country and it definitely is not all about hockey.
I skim over all the hockey stuff in your story.
Most Canadians hibernate during the winter.
I'm happy to read a story that takes place in Canada and especially in Ontario.
If there was one thing that most Canadians living in Ontario love -
it would be swimming in a lake in the ever so hot summers.
There are so many lakes in Ontario.
Canadians are more into summer activities than winter activities.
Canada comes alive when the snow has gone…
