Nothing Unites This Country Like Hockey

You know that hockey game that took place Sunday afternoon? 80 per cent of Canada's population watched some part of it. 80%!
That's 26.5 million Canadians. That easily makes it the most-watched broadcast in Canadian history. 26.5 million people in a country of 33,311,389. That's astounding.
Nothing unites this country like hockey. You can tell me it's just a game, but it's much more than that. It's unification from sea to sea and that transcends sport.
In this country, it's currency.

The last time I was in Canada (New Brunswick/PEI/NS) in July '08, I ended up with that five at the end of my travels. I kept it because I thought it was cool that hockey was on the currency.
