Looking for Canadian culture?Try checking out the ice rink．"We love hockey," says Marion Alexander,a Canadian English teacher in Beijing．"It really is Canada's sport． There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which Canadians have been so successful．But how much do you know about hockey?Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink．Each team has six players —a goalie （goal keeper） ,a center,two defensemen,and two forwards．All of them wear ice skates． Instead of a ball,hockey uses a puck,a small black object made of rubber．Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other team' s goal．Whichever team scores the most goals at the end of three periods is the winner． "Hockey has a lot of rules," says Alexander,"but once you are used to it,it seems very natural．" In Canada,hockey is part of the national identity．Many Canadians play youth hockey when they are growing up,and many Canadian families make a tradition of watching the games． " I played goalie when I was younger," remembers Alexander．" My family would always watch the Calgary Flames （a team in the National Hockey League） play on TV．" Hockey doesn't just unite families．It also brings the whole country together,especialg during the Olympics．" Canada is a diverse country that doesn't have a strong unified culture like China．That is why hockey is so important．Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together " says Alexander．

还在探索加拿大文化吗?去搜下“冰场”的相关内容吧.“我们都很热爱冰球”,一位来自加拿大现在北京任教的名叫马里昂亚历山大的英语老师说道,“冰球是加拿大的一项运动”.再没有一项运动能如此贴近国民的心,在加拿大国内再没有一项运动能如此的成功举办.但大家对冰球知多少呢?冰球在一块冰地里举行,也叫冰场.每队有六个队员,他们分别是：一个守门员,一个中卫,两个防守队员,两个前锋.所有队员都要穿着冰刀鞋,传递的不是普通的球,而是冰球,橡皮制成的小黑球.每一对都要尽力用球棒尽力把冰球打到对方的球门,直至三场的最后时分投进数最多的那队就是赢家.“玩冰球,有太多规矩了”亚历山大说,“但是只要习惯了,一切就顺手了”.在加拿大,冰球成为了一种国家身份认同的标识.许多加拿大人在成长过程中就参与过青年冰球运动,另外,大多数加拿大家庭都把观看冰球比赛当成了一种传统.“我年轻的时候是守门员呢”亚历山大说,“我们一家经常一起观看卡里格里火焰队的比赛（卡里格里火焰队是国家冰球联队的一支运动队）”他还说道：“冰球不只让家庭更团结,也团结了整个国家,尤其是在奥运会期间.加拿大是一个文化多样化国家,没有中国如此统一的文化,这也就是为什么冰球那么重要的原因了吧.为国家冰球队加油,团结了整个加拿大.”
