Description
Canadians have loved the game of hockey for several generations. It is Canada's national winter sport. Canadians love to support Canada in international hockey tournaments and wave the flag when Canada wins. Canadians have also followed the NHL since its existence in 1917 and seeing one's favourite NHL team winning the Stanley Cup is a time of joy for their fans. However, the NHL is an international organization, whose teams are based in Canada and the USA and whose players now come from all over North America and Europe. This paper addresses the question on whether it is apt to talk about "Canada's Team" during the Stanley Cup Finals in the NHL of today.
