On Canadian soil, in sudden death overtime, Sidney Crosby took the feed from Jarome Iginla, tied up in the corner, and snapped the puck through a small sliver of daylight that U.S. goalie Ryan Miller failed to block.
The passion and celebration that ensued over the “Golden Goal” at the Winter Olympics in 2010 <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/canada%e2%80%99s-golden-pursuits/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Much like the World Hockey Association of the 1970s, the Kontinental Hockey League in recent years sparked fears in the NHL that high-profile players would be stolen from North American pro teams.
In the summer of 2008 Nashville Predators forward Alexander Radulov left his contract, with one year remaining, to play with Salavat Yulaev <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/the-second-russian-invasion/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

The history surrounding diversity and the changing face of the National Hockey League has the makings of a classic espionage novel.
In particular, the story of the Stastny brothers, Peter and Anton, raises intrigue with their defection from Czechoslovakia with the help of the Quebec Nordiques organization.
In 1980, Peter went to Innsbruck,  Austria <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/diversity-on-the-rink/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

He treated coaches and players abysmally. He angered fans who thought he drove the Leafs onto the bottom rungs of the NHL ladder. And he served a year at Milhaven Penitentiary for tax evasion.
But after Harold Ballard, full owner of the Maple Leafs upon Stafford Smythe’s passing in 1972, died himself in 1990 <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/leafs-nation-post-ballard/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

The hallowed shrine to Canada’s sport — where every record, every artefact of relevance is stored — is the Hockey Hall of Fame.
However, the building that houses all the trophies, jerseys of legends and various trinkets wasn’t always at its Toronto location at 30 Yonge St.
Demand for a hall of fame began thanks <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/hockey%e2%80%99s-hallowed-shrine/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Feb. 7, 1976 will forever be known as a record-breaking day for Leafs Nation.
With goaltending great Gerry Cheevers on the bench, Boston Bruins coach Don Cherry played his young backup Dave Reece against Toronto.
Little did the rookie realize he would be the goat of hockey history, as Leafs great Darryl Sittler scored six <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/canadas-hockey-experience/one-for-the-record-books/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

The struggle to unseat the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, and keep it from returning to power, is Canada’s longest war by far. On September 11,  2001 terrorists hijacked four US passenger planes; they crashed two of them into the World Trade Center in New York City, destroying the center, and <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/52-canada-in-afghanistan/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

What is hockey without play-by-play announcing?
Since the days when families would gather around their cathedral radios of the 1930s, the voice of one sportscaster or another would capture the imaginations of Canadians.
Toronto Maple Leafs games were first aired November 1931 on Canadian National Railways Radio, a precursor to the CBC.

Canada is the only country in the western world that has a single unified military instead of an army, navy and air force. This unified military, named the Canadian Armed Forces, came into existence on February 1, 1968 just as the separate Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/canada%e2%80%99s-unique-unified-military/">[...more]</a>]]></description>
