read and weep !

Lacrosse

Best Answer

Our Nation Sport is Lacrosse.

Ice Hockey was introduced in 1994 as our winter National Sport.

Actually the above answer is incorrect !

Cricket was so popular in Canada during the time of Confederation (1867)

that the first Prime Minister John A Macdonald anounced :

Cricket as Canada's national sport.  ::four::

Later on it became less popular and was disregarded, in it's place we saw baseball, lacrosse and finally hockey take over.

Cricket was never denounced as the national sport, only ignored. :kiss: :kiss:

whatever may be Canada's national sport

when it comes to sports.....hockey is most definitely Canada's pastime!!
