Bruins shake up city of Vancouver

NHL playoffs are finally finished. After game 7 Boston Bruins took the series to win the stanley cup. After a close series Vancouver couldn't bring it back to Canada. Recent riots and people going crazy in Vancouver is representing the disappointment in the city. Even if you werent a fan of Vancouver this year, most canadians wanted them to win over Boston just so the cup can come back to Canada. Although theres something most people probably didnt look at. The majority of the Vancouver Canucks roster are American players. So why do us canadians want the canucks to win? Now if you take a look at the Boston Bruins roster, the majority of the players are canadians. So why not want the Bruins to win so canadian players can bring the cup back to their canadian cities? So when people say they were rooting for Vancouver because the team is canadian its ridiculous because the team is contained of all american players. I'm happy Boston took the cup this year knowing this doesnt make it so bad to see an american team win built with all canadian players.

"Bring hockey back to Toronto"

Recent story on CTV involves local Toronto neighbourhood making a complaint over a city by-law. The city of Toronto has had a by-law for awhile now saying hockey is not allowed to be played on the streets. Neighbourhood in Toronto feels this law should be abolished. There are many reasons why these people/parents feel this way. One of the reasons for example are for financial reasons. Not every family can afford to put there kids in organized hockey which can sometimes be expensive depending on the skill level and team. Every kid should be able to play hockey freely on the streets without any cost. Its extremely unfair to kids that don't have the money to play to be excluded from the sport. Another example is for the issue of obesity. People say children these days are getting too caught up in television, video games and other entertainment that is pulling them away from physical activity. They say children these days don't get out and play enough. Its kind of hard for kids to get out and play when they cant play one of Canada's most popular official sports on the streets of their neighbourhood. Hockey is an activity that is very popular in Canada and has been since it was created. It is ridiculous how Toronto has banned it from being played on the streets of their city. Another argument used is that it keeps kids or even teens busy and off the streets causing trouble. When kids get bored that is when they start wondering the streets and causing problems. Kids on the street playing hockey would cause a lot less problems then kids vandalizing or selling drugs because they have nothing better to do. Local neighbourhoods are now trying to pressure city council to try and get Canada's game of hockey back on the streets of Toronto.
