Jack Astors refused to put it on one of their 100 TVs and the other two bars, which are called Brickyard and Californias offered to put it on in the corner somewhere without sound. I have to admit it was quite the scene, since I didn't even know there was such a thing as junior hockey championships until stumbling into these bars. Like I said, it gives Canadians something to be proud about since you fail at the professional sports level.

I suppose Olympics don't matter - but where do you suppose NHL players come from? I am proud that as Canadian's we care about what our kids are doing and give them the support along with their parents in all the efforts given to young players. That we're balanced in what we care about - I've walked into many bars up here where NFL is on - basketball - soccer etc. and everyone had a good time.
Feel free to move to USA where you can be proud of whatever sport YOU feel is important vs. not important.
