Wayne Gretzky Lied To All For All Those Years!!

And now, it's time for another tidbit...

Please, Black Terror, regale us with some undoubtedly true bit of trivia and folklore!

Wait a minute!! Lacrosse is Canada's "national game"?!?!?!

So for all those year, all that damned hockey...it was just a trick by Canada, to keep Americans away from their true passion? (And...ahem...to keep America from dominating them in yet another sport?) That whole Stanley Cup thing was just a huge con game?


Granted, Wolverine always did seem like more of a lacrosse guy than a hockey guy...

    It is true. Not sure how lacrosse got in there ahead of hockey, but Black Terror has not deceived you.

    Lacrosse? I thought that was played by large blond men from Baltimore?

    It's true, Canada definitely has two national sports, Lacrosse for Summer and Hockey for Winter.

    We got two of everything up here, including two national languages, English for daytime and French for *ahem*..."after hours" ;)

    ...and yes, I just did a "French Tongue" joke :D
