Why is hockey canada's sport again?
Would you rather claim lacrosse?
Since its founding, Canada's official sport was lacrosse, a sport invented by Aboriginal peoples. In 1994, First Nations groups objected to a government bill that proposed establishing ice hockey as Canada's national sport, arguing that it neglected recognition of the game of lacrosse, a uniquely Native contribution. In response, the House of Commons amended a bill "to recognize hockey as Canada's Winter Sport and lacrosse as Canada's Summer Sport," although lacrosse is played all year, in all seasons, indoor and outdoors. On May 12, 1994, in Bill C-212, ice hockey joined lacrosse as official sports of Canada.

I'm not really in a position to claim any sports on behalf of Canada.
Also you were doing really well on not-posting while you were googling that information, please to be keeping that up.

It all doesn't matter until either:
a) Canada gets eliminated by Russia on Wednesday
or
b) The US wins the gold next weekend over Canada (as I believe that's how the seedings play out).

I mean it's possible Canada gets eliminated by Sweden I suppose, but I kinda doubt it.
