Dear Mervyn Lobo,
As I understand, the passion for ice hockey is almost encoded in the good 
Canadian 'DNA' and Canadian ethos/experience. 
It is afterall Canada's  national game, curling be dammed.
 
Is it then true that one becomes fully acculturated and assimilated [and can 
call oneself a Canadian] only after one watches/ follows and develops an 
appreciation for  the nuances of ice hockey - the great Canadian pastime?
Is this too much to ask of immigrants to Canada?
 
On another matter, praise rightfully goes to the US Ice Hockey squad. Do you 
know them?
Not to the rabid fans who shout out :"We did it!"   
Did what?
 
I. Nunes
