Interresting comparison.

The only reason Brett Hull plays for the States (he was born in Oakville, Ont, to a Canadian NHL great and an American mother) is because in the 1989 (I believe) Canada Cup, Canada cut him and, instead of being a good sport and cheering on his national team, he defected to the (then) much weaker American side, where he was assured a spot. You can have him.

Sorry, but Brett Hull ticks me right off. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah I know Hulls story. But he later said said he wouldn't play for Canada even if they ask him too. Of course, thats Brett Hull talking.

Apologies for derailing...But..

Hull was born in Ont. however he was raised in Chicago.
He came in with a Canadian team
He won his cups with American teams

It seems to even out too me.

Well, that was kinda the reason I brought him up.

Slightly off-topic, but here in Southern NZ I've met a great deal more Canadians than Americans, which might hint at the Canadian will to get out and travel the world a bit... Of all the Americans I've met, the vasy majority were West-Coasters, although a regular at the cafe I work at was from Boston, and he was really cool, he's finished his University studies here and moved back to Boston now [img]smile.gif[/img]
