    I love Canada! I'm from New Zealand and travelled to Montreal and Toronto a few years ago. It's one the best countries I've ever been to :)

    Also the second biggest country in the world (with a population of only about 35 million people)--and while the NHL mostly consists of American teams, Canadians make up the majority of their team rosters.

    Sincerely,
    A proud Canuck
