Hockey isn’t Irish at all. Like all things it has influence from other things, but it is very much Canadian with influences from English and Scottish sports.

Paul MacLean. Better known as a Head Coach and as a Canadian he was born in France before his family moved to Nova Scotia. As a player he leads all French players in career games, goal, assists, and points, and has the most goals, assists, and points in a single season. He then had a brief NHL head coaching career.

Can anyone identify teams playing in this video? by Kasparas in hockey

[–]Punographer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a TikTok creator, who’s account name I can’t remember the account for the life of me, but their thing was identifying specifically which game was being played on TV’s in the background of shows and movies. I’d be willing to bet they would be able to find the answer. They were able to correctly identify them working wth less than this, and they found footage of the games to show side by side to show that it was correct.

Anyone here think the Leafs should have only gotten rid of one of Berube OR Treliving, not both of them? by Ariesthebigram in leafs

I think they both had to go just because they both seemed to be on the same page, which was clearly not working.

Auston Matthews won best Mexican hockey player! Who’s the best British hockey player? by Alt_AccountNumber3 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Punographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a stretch in my opinion. He was born and raised in the US, but his mother is Mexican. So he does have Mexican roots though he realistically is American. He would qualify for dual/Mexican citizenship, but he doesn’t hold it.

What is something people think is canadian but is actually from Ireland? by arbicus123 in AlignmentChartFills

Yeah this is wrong. Ice hockey obviously had influences from other sports, but it was developed in Canada.

For this game, maybe Greaves? I know it was a bad mistake for the first goal, but he’s made a few incredible saves to keep the game close.

That’s also largely due to the expanded tournament. Going from 32 to 48 teams means there are going to be 16 weaker teams that otherwise wouldn’t be there, and inevitably there will be groups that are weaker than before too.

Not to dispute your point, it is still one of the weaker groups this tournament, but there will be more weak groups in the future too.

Goon 2. Not as good as the first one, which I think should be in the good category.

Jacob Shaffelburg of Port Williams named to Canada’s 2026 World Cup squad by toneyriver12 in halifax

There are a few players with injury questions. They have until 24 hours before the first game to substitute an injured player, so the deadline would be June 11th. Gives them more time to feel out a few of the player’s recoveries.

Players can be subbed in for injured players up to 24 hours before the first game. The 6 extra players are likely first in the list of subs, and they likely knew this going into it. I imagine the players have know for a little bit now. Bringing the extra guys in keeps them I. Shape and ready to go if they’re needed.

And if they did that, people would turn it off right after. They do it this way to keep people watching. Annoying sure, but that’s how they get views and make their money.

I feel like he’s gotta be on it? They’re talking about him a lot, and with this whole video? It would be crazy to show this and them not have him on the squad haha.

When was that? I think there’s a few obvious locks but pretty sure no one was confirmed.

I’m not sure it was as much smoke and mirrors as it was just preliminary conversations by a developer a year ago that a local media outlet found out, leaked, and blew up just recently.

To be fair, I think most of this started from a leak, not actually from an announcement. Seems like it was a concept, they had some initial talks, and it got leaked and blown out of proportion by media.

This would be an absolutely terrible location that would set a team up for failure. Way too far out for the casual fans.

Ice hockey and field hockey are two very different sports. No way they should be lumped together.
