Olympics bring a caribou hockey nation together - Go Canada Go!

Feb 25, 2010

Since being in Ottawa, I have come to learn a few things about what Canada means to its people. Over the last two weeks, one of those things has been loud and clear: Hockey is Canada’s game.

To check this out, I brushed up on the basics of the game and then sat down to watch last night's much anticipated Olympic hockey event: Canada vs. Russia.

WOW! What a rush! Seeing the endless sea of red and white dressed fans and hearing them cheer “Go Canada Go!” from the rafters to the streets of Vancouver was contagious. I got chills experiencing the fan support. I was amazed by how it turned inspiration into action that silenced the critics and saved Team Canada’s iconic status for future hope.

After the game, I was filled with an even greater believe in the power of caribou caring Canadians to come together to save another of their Nation’s icons for future generations, Canada’s Woodland Caribou. Go Canada Go!
