So Funny

Ok. So I was doing research for my trip to Australia this Fall and I came across this on the internet from a program who specializes in sending Australian youths to other countries for working holidays. So I decide to see what they wrote about Canada and this is one of the things that I came across and it made laugh because it is just so cute (and pretty true ;) )
"Ice Hockey:
Immersing yourself in a different culture means taking on the nation’s passion for sport and in Canada, we’re talking about ice hockey. Angry men wielding weapons (hockey sticks), racing after a little black puck and more often than not, losing a few teeth. The loyalty of fans and the excitement surrounding matches is inspiring to be a part of, but it is the vicious fights that take place that will make you sit back and go, ‘O Canada.’"
