July 1 is Canada Day, celebrating the Constitution Act which joined three colonies and created the country in 1867. There’s no better time to show love for the Chicago Blackhawks who came from the Great White North.
As a born and raised Canadian, my country’s affinity towards hockey is built into my DNA.
Growing up in Southern Ontario, it’s only natural that I’m a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. But, thanks to my Dad’s influence, I’ve also proudly cheered for the Chicago Blackhawks throughout most of my life.
