But Hockey is more popular in Canada hehe

Yes, hockey is the best sport. Still proud to be an American though. I think lacrosse would be more popular if it got more coverage... I'm surprised it hasn't gained much popularity in the US, it's actually pretty good.

I love football as well... it is coming very close to overtaking hockey as my favorite sport. Though I prefer pro... college doesn't always intrigue me... although I am always rooting for UCLA and try to watch the games (been to the rosebowl a couple of times... I worked there at the UCLA vs. Wisconsin bowl game a few years back). I think I would get into it when they get smart and implement a playoff system.

Actually Canada created....
Baseball (if I remember right), Hockey (Specially a place here in Nova Scotia), Lacrosse I believe was also invented here or at least adjusted to how we all know it today) and basketball was also created by a canadian.
I'm sure there are other sports that we created, but I can't remember them.

indeed, canada is great.
if you need proof, go watch a well done documentary called "Bowling for Columbine," done by the notorious Michael Moore.
it's a little disturbing and heart-wrenching, and also gives Marylin Manson a good name, but still, it's a great thing to see.
GO CANADA, and it's president, rick moranis and/or dave thomas (anyone know the reference??).

Lacrosse was a game Native Americans in Canada would play. It used to be more of a battle, the goals set apart by up to a couple of miles, thousands of guys on each team, games would last days. And basically anything went, generally players would first try to take out as many players as possible as their first priority, scoring a goal being second. And then I guess settlers thought it was cool, and it has been adapted to what we see today. So yes, it was most definitely invented by Canada, the original Canadians in fact. I saw this on some TV show... some History Channel thing I guess.
