For Canucks abroad get your Cherry dose every week!
I do manage to catch the occasional NHL game down here in Alice Springs on Foxtel. Unfortunately, it's rarely a Canadian team playing and I've yet to see the Leafs play. Two fingers crossed: the Leafs make the playoffs and get some coverage down here.
Being a Canuck overseas is usually pretty easy. We're not American, so most people like us. The polite bit gets us by, others dig our accent cause it's almost like television and movies. The hard part is missing Canadian stuff - like Hockey Night in Canada. It's tough without it. For a while, I used the theme song as my ringtone. Just thinking about it almost brings a tear to my eye.
Luckily, I can get my weekly dose of Don Cherry through the lovely people at the CBC. They've kindly brought him to the web with the magic of technology. So when you're feelin a little homesick, put on some Don (and Ron!) and think back to those Saturday nights spent with family and friends on a cold winters night and hearing that music start up and everyone run into the living room to sit down for a double header of hockey.

If any of the owners of this copyrighted material would like me to remove it I will. I only post it to provide Canucks abroad with a taste of home. Keep the true north strong and free, be patriotic and proud to be Canadian!
