YOU ARE WINTER TOO

Red and white jerseys jumping up and down.

Big hugs.

Smitten faces.

Surprise.

Excitement.

Symbolic Maple Leafs risen in honour of such a feat.

The victory was ours. 

Not just Canada's. 

All of ours.

Perhaps We Are Winter.

Canada is Winter.

But i think more than anything, anyone who loves the game is winter.

If you love the thrill of speed skating down a sheet of ice, and investing all of your energy in trying to get a puck into the back of a net.

You are Winter.

Truthfully any country could have won the game. 

But this year Canada did.

If you can't be excited for Canada.

Be excited for the opportunity to witness.

The hard battle fought.

The beauty of hockey.

And how we all are gifted with the game. 

p.s  if you can't be happy for either or, maybe just be happy that Canadian Maple Syrup is magically delicious on ice-cream and everything.
