it's their game, the native canadians (inuit) played the game.  honestly each year it's their trophy to lose, the vast majority of players are from there.  i will give the europeans credit, for how small their countries are they pump out great teams and players (sweden, russia, czech, etc), but it's always been about the canadians.  that's why im surprised the NHL doesn't have more teams up there.  Quebec city, another toronto team, niagara, halifax, etc they have the fans up there.

Canada population 36 million

Russia population 144 million

Small European countries? Lol

Sweden and Czech republic are small with 10 million each. Finland have half that. Amazing how they year after year compete with Russia, USA and Canada

too old and ill to go there now Mark,  and where I live is pretty good, I have free medical care and free prescriptions and a wonderful lady who works in Liverpool.  Oh and it is unlikely to cause me too much grief in winter and on top of that I doubt I will be eaten by a polar bear  lol
