Check your answers:
- If you're like a Canadian hockey fan, you chose (in order): 1 - B, 2 - D, 3 - A/B, 4 - D, 5 - D, 6 - C, 7 - A/B/C/D, 8 - D, 9 - D, 10 - D.
If you answered like a Canadian:
- 10 - You either have way too much time on your hands or you're "employed" by your team, or something like that.
- 7-9 - You're passionate, but you probably shy away from what seperates Americans from Canadians. Perhaps rioting is one of those things.
- 4-6 - You're a pretty big fan of hockey, but not quite crazy enough. You probably watch too much ESPN and may have another priority, such as...basketball.
- 2-3 - You aren't really a crazy hockey fan, but you care...if your team is relevant and not golfing in May.
- 1 - You're probably either a newer hockey fan or still a hockey fan prospect.
- 0 - You know that they aren't using golf clubs and tennis balls on the ice, right?
