24 for Les Habitants; don't forget the Lord Stanely's Mug they won before the NHL was established.

I love hockey. Winter Saturdays consisted of a few - very important - things: snow fights, hiking, tobogganing, hockey on the pond, soaked tuques and mittens hanging over the fire, hot chocolate, and Hockey Night.

I grew up on this:

The professional game now lacks the class, charisma, and toughness of days gone.

Hockey is so important to the Canadian identity and culture that it's on our money:

Hockey is our game, and it will always be played on the ponds, but the magic of Hockey Night is all but gone. Yes, I love hockey, but I've come to despise the NHL.

I long for another generation that thinks of hockey like this:

Yes but since this is a NHL thread, I thought I'd just stick to that.;)

The late '70s version of the tune is the classic, though. Do you remember the outrage when they changed the theme?

...and during the summer, in the streets, parking lots and empty tennis courts of suburbia like we used to do. (I love that part in the one of the "Wayne's World" movies where they're playing street on hockey and call out - Car! Car! - and move the net.(y))

"The Sweater". Another classic. Too bad the sound is so low. Speaking of Maruice Richard, have you seen the recent movie about him, "The Rocket"?

That's true.:eek: I'm not knocking the Red Wings though because they are where it's at these days. One of my friends is a big fan of Steve Yzerman (another Canadian;)).

@Peru1936: As for "The Rocket" movie, it's not that great but worth watching for the subject matter and a few other things. (I spelled "Maurice" wrong!) Also, I skated on a pond before but never actually played hockey on one. Ice-wise, it's been just indoor and bumpy, outdoor rinks.

Now, what kid didn't have one of these?

Funny, I'm the opposite. I've skated in a rink but never played hockey in one. I'm from Newfoundland and the closest rink was a twenty plus minute drive away; the closest pond was a five minute walk.
