I'm Canadian. Liking hockey is practically a legal requirement. I'm not really an enthusiast, but I do enjoy watching the games, both on TV and live. Admittedly, I tend to pay more attention to the playoffs than the regular season.
I root for The Flames (of course), The Redwings and The Canucks, in that order. My arch nemeses are The Oilers (another legal requirement, at least for Calgarians) and Tampa Bay (for beating us in the Stanley Cup finals back in 2004).
Also, calling it "ice hockey" is blasphemy. Every good Canadian knows that it's just "hockey"; let the street and field varieties have the modifiers.
