Well it's clearly not Holland's national sport and Canadians play it more than anyone, so even if it wasn't made up there it should be the national sport in the sense that it is the most popular sport and part of Canadian culture. Eh?  |

Hockey wasn't made up by a canadian, so how could it be made our national sport?
It was a dutch boy who made it up.

Is it necessary? No. Is it a good thing? ABSOLUTELY!
It brings a tear to my eye at least a couple times throughout the day; hearing stories about people who give up so much so that the kids can play the game, how a simple little game can unite a community. What's not to love?! I've been playing organized hockey since I was 4 years old. I like to think of hockey as my 'escape'. The rink is the one place where I can completely take my mind off of any trouble I may have at the time and immerse myself in the moment. And to be able to celebrate that with others one day out of the year is a gift as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't have to be an official holiday, it doesn't even have to be on TV. It just has to be. |

They are actually looking into changing it into hockey. I think it's stupid that hockey isnt already the national sport. Everyone knows it's Canada's game... |

In SUMMER, lacrosse is Canada's official sport. Hockey's still the national sport though, isn't it?
BTW--lacrosse is Maryland's state sport. Tons of kids at my school play. |

Yes! It's necessary just because it's a time for you Canadians to sit back, have some fun, and watch hockey all day. Actually, that sounds like a typical day in Canada anyways
Heck, I'd give anything to go to a Hockey Day in Canada and you're wondering if it's NECESSARY?! lol  We really need a Hockey Day in the USA (hey that even rhymes, lol). I wish we'd have something like that here, then maybe more people would realize hockey beats football by a mile. |
