Last event of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Men’s Ice Hockey final.

Canada

Anybody who doesn’t comprehend how important hockey is to Canadians simply needs to watch this commercial.

The Canada vs. USA game which happened earlier in the non-elimination rounds attracted over 10 million Canadian television viewers. That’s almost a third of the population. This game will almost certainly smash that record. How high could it go? 12 million? 15 million?

There’s a hilarious soundbite on the video montage here where a Canadian couple are interviewed at a Canadian hockey game.

“Better than your wedding day?” the BBC interviewer asks.

The wife and husband hesitates for a moment, then they both shrug and go, “Yeeeaaaahh!”

Okay. Puck drops off in two minutes.
