from Ian MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun,
National Hockey League dressing rooms are all melting pots. Players are players. Objectives and thinking are pretty uniform. There are no national flags on the jerseys.
If there were, the Canucks’ practice would resemble the United Nations General Assembly. Or at least NATO.
There are Canucks from Canada and the United States, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Austria and Slovakia.
But Christmas — and Hanukkah for American defenceman Mathieu Schneider — is one of the few times during the winter when the diversity of the Canucks, or any team, becomes a little more apparent.
