This is in fact true. Although sometime in the late eighties, possibly the
early nineties, it was redefined as Canada's official "summer sport", with
Hockey being the official "winter" sport.

Methinks it was pressure from the NHL, but who knows.

Canada may be the dominant force in Hockey (ahem...TWO Olympic gold medals),
but more Canadian kids play soccer (football).

This is good news. As they say, "it's a beautiful game".
