Canadian Ice Hockey and Equipment

The winter season is the most famous in Canada. In fact most people think winter is the only Canadian station, a kind North America Narnia – always winter and never Christmas.

Bill Bryson in his book written after returning to Britain to live in the north-east of USA, noted that in North America (as in much of the world) time can kill you, something that people in temperate climates do not generally take into account when they complain variable, but relatively benign human climate. In the most habitable of Canada, is the heat and cold to get that instead of violent storms.

We are more thirty degrees centigrade and sticky in summer and less than thirty-sharp as a knife in the winter, any way you can kill if you’re not prepared. If you are prepared, winter is great.

The Canadian winter is on the ice than snow, so that Canadians are doing much better on the ice instead of snow sports champions world champions ice hockey, not skiing.

From October to April, children and parents practically live in the local area in the evenings and late week, participating in or watching ice hockey, figure skating, synchronized skating, ice dancing, or ringette.

(Ringette is a form of contact ice hockey, with the participation of a rubber ring instead of removing a tooth disc, developed for girls in early last century). This wonderland of winter begins when children can handle. Start in the “training” shoes (with double leaves) in three or four and are in highly competitive leagues for six, no time for the fun here. Canadians are very easy-going, tolerant people in all respects but one – ice hockey. It is “our” game and nobody better forget it.

Winter in Canada has also provided the world with a truly unique form of transport, the snowmobile or snowmobile. This snowmobile is how people in the north receives about six months of the year and is also one of the most popular pastimes in winter.

Frozen lakes and rivers, snow-covered roads are propelled walking each weekend by thousands of people who complain about travel for hours each day.

In turn, the more traditional minded travelers and cross-country skiers complain about the noise and risk suffering from snowmobiles on the roads. To be fair, snowmobile-ers are more dangerous to themselves than any another, every year we lose two or three Canadians who make these heavy machines on the ice is too thin or chafe the wire fences, while that racing in the dark.

Another very peculiar to me in any event, the Canadian winter pastime is ice fishing – a sport that requires a unit 1.5 ton truck out onto a frozen lake, to throw a good size complete with seating, heating and alcohol, drill a hole in the ice and the fish around all day with a group of friends equally bold. Consequently, lake beds Canadian trucks have more wrecks there.

The lakes ice cream are also good for snowmobiling and ice racing bike, our nearest suitable lake, for example, is the busiest weekends in winter with competitors and spectators, in addition to ice fishermen and their trucks, what is with the sailors in the summer. Personally, standing up, I never feel comfortable in the surface of a deep lake, no matter how thick is the ice. You really have to be born here for that.
