| | | | Hockey Hall of Fame: Cross-Check! | | | | | |
Hockey is Canada's national pastime and sport. If anything defines Canada, it's its love of and success at Hockey in all its forms. The ultimate monument to Hockey is the Hockey Hall of fame, and it's location in Toronto is a natural. Apart from the NHL's Maple Leafs, national teams, youth national teams, minor-league teams, local teams, and collegiate teams, there is always hockey in Canada, and Toronto is no exception. See various hockey stuff, including sweaters throughout the years of the NHL and Olympics. Focus is on the original teams in the NHL, and Canadian Hockey Teams as well. Take time out to try your hand stopping movies of the great goal-scorers, or participating in a computer-generated all-star skills competition. A former bank building houses the trophies, including the Stanley Cup, which is available for photos (although not for champagne drinking). Of course, my wife and I were photographed with the Cup, and will return when our Washington Capitals ride the shoulders of young Ovechkin to the championship! The original Stanley cup is appropriately housed in the vault of the bank, with Leave a Comment Address: 30 Yonge StreetDirections: BCE Center, at the edge of the financial district, intersection of Yonge and Front street.

| | | | Hockey Hall of Fame: Temple of Canada's National (Winter) Sport | | | | | |
Hockey is Canada's official winter sport (lacrosse, a game invented by the indigenous peoples, is our summer national sport), so it would be a shame if anyone visited Canada's largest city and didn't see the official temple of hockey fame. In fact, the Hockey Hall of Fame has quite a few good exhibits to explain the game to the uninitiated, as well as a lot of fun ones for those who aren't too interested in hockey or sports in general. There is a lot of trivia on display for hockey buffs, as well as interactive displays for those looking to try their hand at being a goalie or being on ice, etc. This attraction is incredibly easy to get to, as it is only steps from Union Station, in the heart of the financial district, and on the way to the St. Lawrence Market district. I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I still had quite a bit of fun at the Hockey Hall of Fame when I went.
