It’s a sport, or America called it one anyway. To Russia and Canada though, it isn’t merely a sport. It’s The Sport. “It” is ice hockey.
Canada is well known for his passion for hockey; he supposedly invented it. A Canadian city isn’t really Canadian if it doesn’t have a hockey team, but with all the different levels this is never really a problem. Canada produces the greatest stars, like Gretzky, stars of the future, like Crosby, and the greatest families, like the Staals and the Sutters.
Russia is known for the goal-scoring forwards and stunning goalies he produces, that areNHL stars if they decide to leave the Kontinental Hockey League. Despite the controversy between the two leagues and the way they steal players from each other, both leagues and their players are well respected in Russia.
Both countries generally love hockey from the casual fan to the religiously fanatic.
England finds Alfred sitting in front of his TV, from the shouts and scrapes of metal on ice America is watching hockey. On closer inspection he is being forced to watch the Canadian National team dominate his team, tied to the chair duct tape over his mouth, hands handcuffed behind his back. England smiles, “You know, it was a bad idea to call it ‘that dumb game’ in front of your brother.”
